Some context to your question certainly would allow me to answer your question with more accuracy. Was this a debt you owed at the time you filed bankruptcy? If so, then you can respond to the lawsuit by citing to In Re Beezley, which holds that omitting a creditor from a bankruptcy is unimportant, provided that the Chapter 7 was a ?no asset? case and creditors received no payment from the bankruptcy trustee. If this lawsuit is a result of a matter that occurred after your bankruptcy, you cannot rely on your 2010 bankruptcy to protect you from financial obligations that occurred after your bankruptcy was filed. You are not currently eligible to receive another Chapter 7 discharge and your only option in bankruptcy would be to participate in a payment plan such as Chapter 13.

Rule 9037. Says that nothing filed with the court should show a social security number or an account number. Paychecks used to have social security numbers, they don't anymore, so it shouldn't be a problem.
