Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Collection Agency Harassment After Bankruptcy

My husband (who passed away in 1998) and I declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy for our business in 1992, with scheduled debts discharged by the bankruptcy court. Despite informing them of the above facts, a collection agency is now harassing me with threatening letters in an effort to collect one of the discharged debts.

What laws apply to this situation, and what can I do to stop the harassment and protect myself from further attempts to collect or impact my credit files negatively regarding their claim?

We need to review your discharge in bankrtupcy as well as the collection letter and any documentation of the debt. Was the debt listed in your bankruptcy. Was the debt a dischargable debt.
