if collection agency is not from your lender, but third party, then you need to fax them proof of your payments to your lender or financial insitution and have them send you a letter stating that they will not report you to credit bureau. and also have them contact the collection agency you are making payments. asian623 http://www.myspace.com/scionturboracing

If a judgment is in place the judgment holder can execute it under the provisions of the law of the debtor's state.

That being said, a judgment is not transferrable, so if the original judgment holder did not record the judgment and take action they could not simply "pass it on" to another collector unless that collection agency was acting in their behalf and was part of the original suit.

If the judgment involves intentional harm or drunk driving or certain other limited situations, the discharge does not prevent collection on the judgment.
