MEMORANDUM-OPINION
J. WENDELL ROBERTS, Bankruptcy Judge.
A review of the history and files of this case reflect that Job Rentals has engaged in a zealous quest to collect a mere $16,501.21, but failed to request this Court terminate the stay. Its actions have, without question, caused the parties to expend sums far greater than that on attorneys fees and costs. This case underscores the wisdom of alternative ways of settling disputes — such as, mediation or arbitration — where, a facilitator cuts to the heart of the issue without the parties filing 86 pages of legal memorandums plus attachments.
