Can a chapter 7 bankruptcy wipe out a summary judgment?
If a person had a summary judgment against them for a credit card debt, could it be wiped out through a chapter 7 bankruptcy, or would he still somehow be required to pay it, even if he had no job, no money in his bank account, and no major assets (car, house, etc)?

The judgment would be discharged whether it was obtained by a motion for summary judgment or any other way.
