Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland
suing creditor after bankruptcy
We received a chap 7 bankruptcy discharge and our bank loans were discharged in January. We have received numerous letters from them since then to collect on the loans. Is it worthwhile to sue them for violating the discharge? What do you sue them for.....harrassment or what?

You can sue for actual damages for the harassment plus punitive damages.

Yes, it is worthwhile to sue. If your creditor received notice of the discharge, and all debts were included, the creditor is in violation of several laws. Make sure your write down every single time they contact you - the date and time. Keep EVERY letter. Contact an attorney.
