it is likely past the statute of limitations but an attorney would need to review what you are receiving and get more facts to further advise you.
I am part of the CWA Frontier CA. We do have a contract but I have a civil case against Frontier CA that all the actions within that Civil case are in the contract. Frontier has placed my case in the bankruptcy. I have been searching to have the dismissal of my inclusion. Any help is appreciated.

Unless something is missing, your case will not be omitted from the bankruptcy as the debtor is required to include all creditors, which includes you.

My chapter 7 bankruptcy was granted discharge in may. I have a property that is under exemption/protected. I also had to turnover my 2020 tax refund. What does this letter mean?

You certainly do have options. Talk to one or more bankruptcy lawyers to explore those options. If you are informed that bankruptcy is one of those options, you can probably make all the debt go away, even the lawsuits.

This is if both the defendant and attached business are named in the settlement. There would be a stipulation for entry of judgment attached to the settlement. The concern is the defendant defaulting and possibly filing bankruptcy prior to making payments.
