How to stop harrassing letters from a timeshare company?
I stopped payment on a timeshare 3 years ago. I went through bankruptcy which concluded a year later. I still get harassing letters from them. How can I make this stop?

If you filed for bankruptcy protection several years ago, named this particular creditor on your bankruptcy schedule as a crediotr and you received a discharge of your debts, you need to do the following concerning the harassing letters from this particular time share company:
1. write it a letter stating that your obligation to it was discharged in a bankruptcy and attach the discharge order to the letter.
2. request that the harassing letters cease. Keep a copy of the letter you wrte for future reference.
3. if the harassing letters continue, contact your former bankruptcy attorney (assuming you had one) and request that he or she write a letter to the time share company on your behalf.
Good luck.
