MEMORANDUM OPINION

BRUCE I. FOX, Bankruptcy Judge;

Before me are two adversary proceedings that have been consolidated for trial by agreement of the parties. The complaints seek injunctive and declaratory relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees arising out of the defendants’ alleged violations of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 362, 525. That is, the debtors maintain that the defendants 1 sought, postpetition, to collect traffic fines and to suspend their drivers’ licenses. The debtors also seek relief for an alleged infringement of their civil rights, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Trial was held…
