Such decisions as a rule are left to the bankruptcy court. Generally such action is not allowed as it would be viewed as favoritism to one creditor.

Can a creditor still collect after chapter 7 is filed?
No. The automatic stay takes effect and no creditor may proceed without the court's permission, called "relief from stay." If the claim is one that cannot be discharged, once the case is closed, the creditor may continue its collection efforts.
Can a secured debt be taken from you after it was discarged in a chapter 7?
In most Chapter 7 cases you are not including secured property unless you are surrendering the property back to the creditor. If you are holding on to secured property during a chapter 7 process the property must be reaffirmed with the creditor at time of filing meaning you have an agreement with the creditor to leave the property out of the bankruptcy and continue to make your payments. When you discharge debt through chapter 7 it doesn't make sense that you could keep a secured piece of property and not pay for it. Maybe you were unclear about what you were really doing.

What is a motion for relief from stay in a chapter 7?
When you file for bankruptcy, you are protected by the "automatic stay" which prohibits creditors from taking action to collect the debt or from taking your property. In some cases, the creditor will ask the court for permission to continue efforts to collect the debt by requesting relief from the stay. This is usually done by a creditor who wants to continue foreclosure proceedings on a house or seek repossession of a vehicle. Landlords will also file for relief from stay to evict a nonpaying tenant.
