I attended XXXX XXXX School in 2005. I was supposed to be released of all financial obligations, but this small amount has remained for years. I do not believe it is federal. They would bother me while I was at school elsewhere, and I would just defer. Recently, I just exited bankruptcy, and all creditors were notified of this and my new address ( and the stay ). Yet somehow they did not change the address and I received no notices of delinquency, no emails, and no phone calls about payment. Now, allegedly they have sent this thing to collections, but the collections agency has no record of this existing. So I am stuck in limbo here. I do n't want this to ruin my credit -- I do n't even owe this amount, and on top of it the alleged collection agency has no record of this. 

They have not given me proper notice or an opportunity to request a deferral or forbearance.
