If you listed the furniture company in your chapter 13, it is a stay violation for the furniture company to contact you or your family to attempt to collect or retrieve the collateral without a court order. However, timing can be a problem, and if there has not been much time since you filed your case or if the creditor was not properly listed, you have a right but probably no damages. Talk to your attorney.

Did you grant the furniture company a lien on furniture that you bought? You might be able to have their lien removed in the bankruptcy court.
