Welcome to the forum, James! This Kelly Young is making illegal threats, so rest assured that you're not going to jail. Bass & Associates have used that line with a lot of people to scare them into paying right away. You are in bankruptcy, so let your attorney deal with it. I'm sure you have enough on your plate just handling the bankruptcy and foreclosure. Who was the payday loan with?
You can send a Cease & Desist letter to Bass & Associates requesting that they no longer contact you by telephone and that they should put all future communications to you in writing. If they contact you after you have proof that they received your letter, they are in violation of the fdcpa laws and you can file a suit against them. Send your letter via certified mail/return receipt requested. Here's a link to a template that you can personalize.

James, it sounds that this debt was not included when you filed for bankruptcy, did you? And they are a collection agency; did they validate the debt to you in writing giving proper info? They need to prove their authorization to collect on this.
