    I HAVE A BANKRUPTCY HEARING 3/31.

    TODAY I CAME HOME TO A CIVIL ACTION HEARING NOTICE HAND DELIVERED TO MY HUSBAND AT HOME FROM ONE OF THE CREDITORS WHOM I FILED BANKRUPTCY AGAINST.

    I INTEND ON TAKING THE PAPER TO MY LAWYER TOMORROW, BUT THIS IS VERY UPSETTING TO ME RIGHT NOW.

    CAN THEY DO ANYTHING TO ME.

    I THOUGHT ONCE I FILED THEY COULDN'T DO THIS TILL THE HEARING.

    SO CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE UP TOO?

    DEPRESSED IN PA.

    Don't worry, take it to your lawyer. That's what you're paying him for.

    I don't know anything about BK, but I do know that it's the lawyer's job to take care of it, so sleep well.

    I've been in your shoes and understand how stressed out you feel about everything. Before my hearing I got several letters from creditors notifying me that they were petitioning the court to lift the Stay on the secured items included in my Chap 13.
    I would have been scared to death if one had been hand delivered. Let your attorney handle it.My attorney was right by my side through it all...that's what I paid him for! There is nothing your creditors can do to you except intimidate you! Don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you squirm! Good luck!

    If you have filed and have a case number they can't do anything to you. Don't lose sleep over this - just take the letter to your lawyer tomorrow and let him/her handle it.

    Good luck to you.

    THIS WASN'T JUST A LETTER IT WAS A PETITION TO APPEAR IN COURT, HAND DELIVERED BY THE CONSTABLE.

    I KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT IT IS JUST A PLOY OF INTIMIDATION, BUT IT IS STILL NERVE RACKING. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER AND EVERYTHING FOR MY HEARING.

    I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN DO THIS. IT WAS EMBARRASSING ENOUGH TO HAVE MY NAME IN THE NEWSPAPER BUT I KNOW THE CONSTABLE AND THEY EVEN HAVE IT MARKED ON THE PETITION HOW MUCH I OWED TO THE CREDITOR--SO NOW THE CONSTABLE KNOWS TOO.

    I CAN'T WAIT TILL THIS IS ALL OVER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WORSE, BEING IN DEBT OR BEING HARASSED LIKE THIS.

    THANKS FOR RESPONDING. IT HELPS TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS. YA KNOW--MISERY LOVES COMPANY.
