 Collection After Bankruptcy
by: Debt Collection Answers

Our web site addresses issues related to consumer debt, not business debt. However, if a debt owed by your business was discharged through bankruptcy, then the debt collector is not entitled to try to get you to pay it.

I recommend that you make a copy of your discharge paperwork, write a cover letter stating that the debt was discharged and so you are no longer obligated to pay it and send both to the debt collector via certified mail with a return receipt requested. (Make a copy of your letter for your files.) If the collector continues to contact you after it has received this information, get in touch with your bankruptcy attorney.
