Hi Jenny,

I think the only way you can stop this is by filing for bankruptcy. You can either go for chapter 7 bankruptcy or chapter 13 bankruptcy. As soon as you file a bankruptcy, the creditor must stop all efforts to collect the debt. Or you can try and open another account in someone else’s name and keep money in that. The creditor will not be able to touch that.
