A: You can --through a lawyer--seek a temporary restraining order in District Court in your county. It is temporary--and I mean temporary. Don't expect more that 30 days till something will have to happen.

Go see a Bankruptcy Lawyer about a Chapter 13. That usually is the best way to force a revision of the situation.
