IRS contacts me before automatic stay is lifted...

couldn't the damages be emotional distress?

Nope. Violations of the automatic stay must show actual damages.

Now if they pursued you for years after the discharge with constant harassment you may be able to sue for damages for violations of the permanent injunction.

you would have to show actually damages suffered by the automatic stay violation.

...can they do this? If I'm discharged on schedule, it will be on the 29th. I received a letter in the mail today from the IRS about my back taxes. My automatic stay is still in place - can they do this? Can I tell them to dock 1K from the balance I owe them or I'm taking them to court? That's so nice to think about...
