If the creditor is a participant in the chapter 13 then they should have received notification from the bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy petitioner should notify the trustee that the creditor is in error. If the creditor is not a participant, they can continue to contact the debtor until they are notified in writing to "cease and desist".
AnswerSend the creditor a written letter stated they are to cease contacting you by phone immediately and Amy only contact you through written correspondence. This is allowed by the Fair Debt Collections Act, a federal law. That should at least get you started.If the BK has not been discharged, you can ask to have it reopened and you filing amended to include the creditor. That will be expensive, though. If that isnot possible, then you owe the creditor the full amount of the debt, and should try to work out an agreement for repayment.
If a creditor files a motion for relief from stay in any bankruptcy proceeding, the papers should be served on the debtor's attorney of record.
You should have told the court and the trustee in the chapter 7 documents what your intentions were with respect to the lease. If you were terminating the lease, you must return the leased property to the creditor.
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.

Send a letter of "cease and desist". This will not keep a creditor from filing lawsuit to recover the debt. It will only prevent them from contacting the debtor except to inform the debtor that a suit is being filed.
contact them and ask them why...if it's a credit card...or basically anything but student loans they have to accept the terms of the bankruptcy. get in touch with the lawyer who did your filings for your bankruptcy proceedings and they should get it taken care of.
If the credit card was included in the Chapter 7, nothing happens. The account will be closed by the creditor and the amount owed including any accrued interest is wiped out.
