Collections after discharge

[bmcmull]

I know it SUCKS, but $300.00. I would just try and settle it and move on, because the only thing worse than a creditor is a ATTY, and lawsuites are full of them.

I filed it, it was certainly included in the bankruptcy and is NOT a new debt. The phone company holds the deposit for a year and then sends it back if payments are made on time. Our deposit came back and was credited to the account putting it back in good standing and starting the billing cycle all over again. I called immediately and cancelled the account, told them it was IIB but continue to get bills, now this. A collection agency. I'm going to send a letter out to both, a very strongly worded letter. If I get anything more from them, I will hire an attorney and sue the life out of them both.

Hey girl!!!-- Fight it!! 300 is alot especially when you have included it in a bk and it was discharged. I would send them a letter cert. return reciept include the paper the shows they were served by the courts with last day for objects also maybe a notice to creditors, Also include that strong worded letter. Dont pay a dime.. I also have sprint and you cant call them at all you will be on hold all day and get nothing handled. Find the address to where you would send a complaint. Keep us posted

Good Luck

I sure will, I am NOT paying for something that was IIB and discharged. Even to "settle" it and end the letters, I didn't go through all of that to be harassed and give up. I don't care to sue either, I think it's a ridiculous answer to most people's greed but in this case I don't know what else to do. That's exactly why I'm here asking though. I was pretty stern on the phone the 7 times I called as well but it seems they are too damn stupid to understand the statement "I'M NOT PAYING, IT WAS INCLUDED IN MY BANKRUPTCY!"

Ugh, thanks for letting me vent. I sent the letters, we'll see what happens.

I'm sure this is a dumb question. Have you included a copy of your discharge and proof of service to Sprint with your letters? If not, might be worth a shot.
