debt collectors after being bankrupt

I was declared bankrupt in 2005 and went to court etc. so my debts was wiped out (loans and credit cards). I got a discharged letter a few years and now I seem to be able to apply for credit cards (which i don't use)
But now Egg has recently forward/sold my details onto another debt company to collect the money from them stating that I must continue with the repayments. I haven't made any repayments to Egg since I was made bankrupt.

Can Egg sell my details on to another company even though they were informed I was made bankrupt?

Do I have to pay the loan back to Egg or the other company they sold my details too.

I'm quite worried and stressed as the letters they have sent to me are quite threatening
