Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

It's hard to say what you need to do from the very few facts you provided. If you have not filed your bankruptcy, then include the creditor from the Default Judgment in your bankruptcy petition so they receive notice when you file bankruptcy. When you file (or if you have filed), you need to file a Notice of Stay of Proceedings form with the Court where the default judgment was entered. If you already filed your bankruptcy, you also need to amend your schedules to add that creditor and the information about the lawsuit.
