[Leica] Maybe of interest?

[Chris Crawford]

Actually, Douglas, that is illegal. At least in the USA, there are laws
regulating when a creditor can harass a debtor, how often, what times of
day, etc. Bankruptcy makes it illegal to EVER contact the debtor again for
a debt that has been discharged by the court.
