Re: Bankruptcy
I would need to examine this more closely in order to determine whether or not the bankruptcy releived the debt. This likely depends on the type of debt and bankruptcy involved. There may be some other ways to help on this.
Re: Bankruptcy
If the bankruptcy discharge was for both yu and yur husband,, and the debt was frm befre that date, then they shuld nt have sued yu fr the dalleged debt. If only yu husband was discharged in bankruptcy, and yu were als a debtor in the account or contract being sued over, then there is little to prevent them from going after you for this debt. If you can consult with the attorney that handled the bankruptcy. If you cannot, then consult directly with someone. It may just take sending the bankruptcy case number to the creditor's attorney.
Good Luck
