Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Wisconsin

If your bankruptcy case was filed after you moved out and the landlord was added as a creditor, this debt should be discharged, so your first move should probably be to consult with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. Your lawyer can move to have the landlord held in contempt of court for violating your bankruptcy discharge, which will normally end collection activities like you describe. A simple letter from the lawyer may be enough, and that should not cost you very much at all. Failing all this, collection activity on a judgment of this type is normally frozen during a chapter 13 bankruptcy, as long as at least six months has passed since your chapter 7 discharge, so you also have an option to refile.
