They can file, that is all. And No.

No, if you included them in the bankruptcy they have accepted the terms of what the payoff amount will be. They can file a claim, but there is nothing they can do until afterwards. However, any charges they occur can be added. You cannot incur any more debts when you are under bankruptcy. Not even a small claims case.

Yes. Bankruptcy is not a legal shield.
And depending on the type of suit, it won't prevent them from collecting money from you either regardless of bankruptcy. Plus, if i'm not mistaken, it only nulls previously owed debts prior to filing for bankruptcy, doesn't necessarily protect you from ones after the fact... but trying to sue a bankrupt person would probably seem as a waste of time.
Talk to a lawyer if you're concerned about this.

What a totally unbelievable amount of crappy answers! If you people don't know the answer, please don't respond!
When you file for Bankruptcy, you supply a list of all the creditors you have. The court will immediately place a "stay" against each of these creditors preventing them from taking ANY collection activities. That even includes calling you or sending you a bill!
But if you do not list a creditor, or if you get credit after you have filed for your bankruptcy, those creditors can sue you.

the bankruptcy laws have changed, and it is possible that you could still be sued. a lot of things that you could bankrupt before you now can not. they passed this load of crap about two years ago, payback to the banks, credit card companies, hospital's, and loan companies. this was the only means by which the middle class could financially recover from a catastrophic illness, or a financial crisis, and not lose everything that they have worked for all of there life.the interesting part is the wealthy can still file for bankruptcy. this seems to be the american way.

They sure can.
That's why people go bankrupt, because they can't afford to pay what they owe, If the person or company or whatever doesn't sue, they have no chance of recovering what they are owed,
