Question
Mr. Leeders,

My wife and I have filed chapter 7 two months ago.  We have a 100financed house with two mortgages with the same lender.  Through this whole time with consistent frequency we have been called by the lender.  My wife informed the lender as soon as the case was filed with the case no and lawyer name and number.  Our lawyer has spoken with the bankruptcy department informing them of the case and specific.  What can I do to remedy this?  What can I expect?
Thank you, D.S.

Answer
Your attorney would have to file a motion for the violation in court.  The judge will then decide if it is a violation, and if it is intentional.  If it was a clerical oversight, the judge may likely just give them a slap on their wrist.  If the court feels it is intentional, then it is possible to order sanctions.  Check with your lawyer and see what they feel is the best plan of attack.
