No, they can not. Remember to list EVERYONE you owe money though. I would get a copy of my credit report, so that you dont accidently leave off a debt.

*Most* debts which are listed on your chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy are discharged at the end of the bankruptcy. However, there are several exceptions. You didn't indicate the type of debt or if the creditor was listed on your bankruptcy.
If your creditor was NOT listed in your bankruptcy, and they can show that they did not have constructive notice of the bankruptcy, then the debt has *probably* not been discharged. You really didn't give enough information upon which to base much of an answer.
I suggest that your first step would be to the attorney who assisted you on the bankruptcy. The attorney can advise you if this debt was discharged. If not, the attorney can advise you as to why, and what can be done, (if anything) to make sure that it is.
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore the court summons. You need to deal with this promptly, as there are time limits involved and failure to act could affect your rights.
If you need more specific information, email me and I will find some more resources for you if I can.

When you file for bankruptcy the people who are taking care of the legal end of it will have a meeting and invite everyone you have listed that you owe money too.Now these people go to the meeting and either accept the bankruptcy and if they do they cannot come after you for any monies you owe.. if they don't accept the terms of the bankruptcy well after a certain amount of time has passed they can petition the courts to get some or all of their money back.But 99% of the time companies don't bother with this step .The one company who is very persistant with getting their money is Sears i have seen people still fighting them 10 years after they have declared bankruptcy..

No, they can not. As long as you have your bankruptcy discharge papers, the case will be thrown out.
The one exception is for student loans. These must be payed back and will not be discharged during a bankruptcy.

Yea, if you did not list them on your court paper, but you can have your lawyer add them after the fact also, thats why no one will ever give you a loan till you pay off your bankrupty, cause you could turn around and add them.

yes but all you do is take your bankruptcy papers and the judge will dismmiss the case because of your financial status.

If they are not listed on your list of creditors, yes. Also, creditors do not have to accept the bankruptcy.
