Sprint

[danaf]

Sprint keeps sending me bills. They were on my petition and I know they've received the bk paperwork by now.

What should I do?

[BigJohn]

Are you still using the phone?

[danaf]

No.

[BK2008]

Send them (or have your attorney) send them a c&d letter. Let them know you're in BK and to stopp sending you statements.

Here's the important question - does the bill Sprint is trying to collect contain any charges from using the phone AFTER you filed?

If it does, then you are responsible to pay any portion of the bill that you incurred AFTER you filed and Sprint has every right to ask for THAT PORTION of the bill to be paid.

If you never used the phone for even one minute after you filed, then Sprint is violating the automatic stay. Notify your lawyer.

The phone was turned off in Jan - so no I did not use it after I filed. I haven't got a lawyer, filed pro-se. Can someone point me in the direction of a C&D for violating the automatic stay?

[BK2008]

I've been writing my own, since I don't know of any formal form posted here, but I just write:

Creditor Name
Creditor Address



Acct#:


Date:

Notice is given that (your name, address) is in an active Ch 7 Bk filed <date>

Cease any collection actions regarding this account.

US Bankruptcy Court
Address
Case #


Attorney: (name, address)


I haven't heard from anyone since.

But somebody might have a better way.

Hmm, Send them your case number and an informal complaint that they are violating the automatic stay. You might want to send this return-receipt registered US mail.

And for good measures have someone take a pic of your hand flipping them off and enclose the pic.

Too funny!
