The issue appears to depend on whether the described signature loan was included in the discharge. If the loan was included in your petition and discharged with other debts, you are not liable for such discharged debts. If it was not included, you must amend the bankruptcy to include the debt so that it can be discharged.

One has to assume that this debt was both listed on your schedules and was unsecured. If so, the litigation would violate the discharge injunction.
