burned by a contractor

[firstdown]

If I'm correct a judgement does not come off your record even if you file bankruptcy but I could be incorrect about that. I have a court order judgment against a guy who stole my truck and snaged around $900 worth of stuff and minor damage. The damage to the truck was not enough to file a claim on my auto ins. and the contents taking was not enough to file a claim on my homeowners ins. I was told at the time it would stay on his record forever and my hope is one day he will clean up his act and want this off his record. I'm not holding my breath as I was one of two people in court who he had stolen a car from. He was out on bail from stealing his first car when he took mine.
