[CLBS] IRS and Stay Violations

[Tyler McGee]

Listmates,

I'm a little fish in the bankruptcy pond and I may be showing my ignorance here, but is the IRS handled any differently from other creditors when it comes to stay violations? I haven't found anything on the issue, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

Debtor filed chapter 7.
IRS received notice and filed a claim.
Post filing, IRS sent letters threatening lawsuits and seizure of assets.
I sent a letter back telling them to back off due to the stay.
IRS keeps sending the same letters.

Can I pursue a stay violation against the IRS in the same way I would any other creditor?
