I am not clear on what you are asking. However, if you want to see what debt was listed in your bankruptcy, you can set up an account with Pacer, which will give you access to view the bankruptcy docket and each and every document that was filed in your case. The cost to view the documents is $0.10 per page with a maximum charge of $3.00 per document, when the number of pages exceeds 30.
You can also contact your attorney and ask that he/she provide you with a copy of your file. It is very possible the the debt was listed and the creditor is now attempting to collect a debt that was discharged. We have sued multiple creditors through the years for this type of activity. If that is what has happened here, you need advice on what to do to prior to reopening your case and filing an adversary proceeding against the creditor if the creditor is violating the discharge order.
If the debt was not listed, then you may be able to resolve the matter by simply notifying the creditor that the bankruptcy was filed. Again, advice of counsel is warranted.
BTW, you the items listed on your schedules are debts, not credits.

It is unclear what you are asking but you apparently had an attorney for your bankruptcy and should contact him or her. In the alternative, set up a Pacer account and review your bankruptcy case for a small fee. https://www.pacer.gov/

www.pacer.gov will allow you to pull your case and review both the schedules and the discharge order, which you could then send to the creditor to force them to cease any further collection activities. That being said, you may also wish to consult with your former attorney or another bankruptcy attorney. If this problematic debt was listed properly, then you may have grounds for seeking monetary compensation for the violation of the court's discharge injunction. If the debt was not listed properly, you may need to enlist the assistance of an attorney to modify your bankruptcy, though if your case was a no-asset case (meaning that the trustee did not liquidate any of your property, keep a tax return, etc.) then this debt should be included in the bankruptcy anyway and it may be as simple as providing your discharge order to the creditor.
