I'm confused

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana

My husband received a collection letter in the mail over the weekend for a medical bill incurred in October 2004. I pulled his credit report this morning, and it says that it was discharged in Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This case was dismissed last year, but I'm not sure if any money was actually paid to this creditor.

When I send the validation letter, can I include this status, or should I contact Experian and have them look into it?

Simple.

To whom it may concern:

Reference collection letter dated XXX 99, 09, account number 39074139827. This debt was discharged by the US Bankruptcy court of Yourtown, IN, file number 9857329847, on XXX 98, 08. You are hereby directed to never contact me again about this account or I will turn it over to my attorney.
