Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Ohio
About 3 years ago my husband and I filed chapter 7 on everything including house. The bankruptcy was discharge at least 2 years ago. The house is ready to be sold on sheriff sale April 18, 2011. Today I received a letter stating I now owe them an additional $33,000. more. Can they legally do this, when the bankruptcy has already been discharged?
Thank you

It may depend on whether you reaffirmed your mortgage debt during the pendency of your Chapter 7 case. If you did, the debt may have escaped discharge and you may continue to be liable on that debt.
