In re Nordlund

MEMORANDUM

Debtors John and Judith Norlund maintain that Bank of America (BofA) has repeatedly violated their bankruptcy discharge. As a result, they ask the court to conclude that BofA has acted in contempt of court, and to compensate them for the damages BofA’s contumacious conduct has caused them.

BofA holds the first, second, and third deeds on the debtors’ former home in Hay-fork, California. See Docket No. 15 at 4. While the debtors continue to own that residence, they stated their intention to *511 surrender the property to BofA in their bankruptcy case. Despite voluntarily leaving their home and offering it to BofA, BofA has not foreclosed and instead has chosen to send the debtors a barrage of letters asking, even demanding, that they continue to honor their contractual commitments to BofA despite the debtors’ discharge and despite their repeated requests that BofA leave them alone. BofA’s hounding of the debtors even has continued during the pendency of this motion.
