If you gave these creditors proper notice of your bankruptcy and these debts were actually discharged in the bankruptcy, you may be able to recover damages, penalties and attorney's fees from the agencies trying to collect these amounts pursuant to the Texas and the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts.
