Judgments are picked up by the credit bureaus as part of the public record. In order to correct the public record in Minnesota you must apply to the Court tohave the Judgment discharged. There is a form on the MN Courts website, or available from the courthouse, and there is a $5 filing fee. Once you get it discharged in th eMinnesota Court, send a copy of that Order to all three credit bureaus. If they don't correct the report to say discharged in bankruptcy you may be able to sue them under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

It should show "bankruptcy" for all of your debts. Write a dispute letter to the credit reporting agency. BUT... if you own a home and there was a judgement lien - that is still on your home until you have it removed in the bankruptcy court. That would require reopening you case and filing a motion to avoid that judgement lien.
