More details to this question:
I received a job at a collection agency but have an open account at the company. I have filed bankruptcy chapter 7 and gave the info to the agency.

I know of no law that prohibits this. This would be determined by company policy. I can not imagine a collection agency hiring a debtor that they are pursuing, but I know of no legal reason why they may not do so. Other than the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, I know of no regulations applicable to collection agencies. They are not a licensed profession.

You need to ask your employer. It is not a legal issue.
