Hi. I took someone to small claims court in February 09, and the judge ruled that the person I sued was to pay me $100 per month for twenty-five months. In July 09 I received a letter informing me of his bankruptcy, and that I was legally not permitted to contact him regarding the unpaid portion of the settlement. Nonetheless, I contacted him regarding the matter via an email. He sent me a response stating that he will continue to send me payments.
My question is, being that he has made contact with me and I now have a statement in writing from him after the date he filed for bankruptcy that states he will continue to make payments, does this supersede the court rule that I can no longer contact him regarding the matter? Can he legally be held to fulfill the original court ruling based on the fact that after he filed for bankruptcy, he stated he would continue to pay me?
Thank you.
