Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Maine

I filed for and was granted a bankruptcy in 2012 which included my home. Today I received a 1099-A from a collection agency which I have told on numerous occasions that I gave up the house in the bankruptcy. I provided them my bankruptcy claim number and the name of my lawyer.

What are my responsibilities in regard to the 1099-A?
