Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

collections on debt discharged in bankruptcy

I have had a chapter 13 discharged. I have now been receiving letters from debt collectors on behalf of a single company which had bought the debt from the original creditor. The debt was discharged in the bankruptcy. I called and told them but so far it has not stopped. While not a lot of times, after 5 letters it is annoying. I understand that they can't collect but who can help to get them to stop bothering me?

Re: collections on debt discharged in bankruptcy

Under the fair debt and collection act, and the bankruptcy law, a lawsuit could be started against the collection agency for damages. It is the best way to stop the harrasment.

If you want to obtain the services of this office for the commencement of lawsuit, please feel free to contact me.
