I was always told that filing bankruptcy is public record. So it doesn't matter if it was dismissed, the information still has to be reported. However, I think this is BS. I think the law should make exceptions for individuals who do not go through with the bankruptcy. No sense in being penalized for something you didn't benefit from. As for your last question. If you have an account that was included in your bankruptcy it is possible that they will contact you again re: this debt. I assume that when the bankruptcy was dismissed, you began getting calls from other creditors re: your debt. This company may not be aware that you did not proceed with the bankruptcy. When they find out, I'm almost certain they will contact you. I know this from experience. I had a dismissed Ch. 7 as well.
