Q: I filed a bankruptcy in 2014. A Creditor is coming after me for payment! What do I do?
The card is a Walmart card. Company behind the Walmart card is one of the creditors who was discharged. They are now coming after me for payments discharged in the bankruptcy! What do I do?
A: Did you notify the creditor that you filed bankruptcy? If not do so immediately. You can also send them a copy of your discharge. Trying to collect on a discharged debt is a violation of the discharge injunction. If they continue to contact you after you inform them of your bankruptcy, you should contact your attorney and review the creditor's actions. You can search for an attorney using the Justia "Find a Lawyer" link at the top of this page if you do not have an attorney.
