What Should You Do If Creditors Continue Harassing You After Filing Bankruptcy

You would think if someone violated the bankruptcy court's discharge injunction or automatic stay that the court or the trustee would do something about it, but that's not how it works. The debtor must file a contempt motion or adversary proceeding to enforce the court's injunctions. Unfortunately, such actions can cost thousands of dollars and few consumers can afford it. It's unfair so that's why Manchee and Manchee, P.C. often take on these types of cases on a contingent fee basis. 
    If you are the victim of post-bankruptcy harassment be sure and keep any letters or email you receive, note the date and time of each phone call, their telephone number, the caller's name, the company he works for and find out which debt they are trying to collect. Get written verification if you can. 
    Once you have this information call your attorney, or, if you live in Texas, call us. For more information go to our website:  Manchee & Manchee PC
