What to do about a stay violation?

[KP1980]

I have had a debt collector/law firm contacting my home for the past five months. They have recieved a bankruptcy letter from the court back in Sept. and I had also called them. Yet they still call several times a week. No money had been exchanged but we had been trying to set up an arrangement, before we had realized they should not be doing this. My bankruptcy was recently discharged.

I know the automatic stay should have protected both I and my codebtors.

Since I know they violated the automatic stay, what do I do about it,what are my rights?

Do I file a complaint with the FTC and/or call a lawyer?

report the number to your lawyer and have him deal with it. DO NOT make any payments with them because apparently that will open up a new can of worms!!!

also, next time they call, be an ass and give them your lawyers number and tell them if they keep calling you, you will sue.
