A 'Cease & Desist Order' means:
- 'Cease' means to stop and 'Desist' means not to do it again. This comes into effect when there is a dispute about something. A person sending the Cease & Desist Order is telling the person bothering them to stop!
- You can place this legal paper for: stalking, damage to your property, harassing phone calls, etc.
- Copyright and trademark infringements.
- Slander (someone saying something about you that isn't true); libel or labor disputes.
- A Cease & Desist Order can be given to a company that that you owe money too if they are phoning you at all hours of the day or or night, BUT the Cease & Desist Order is not active until the company puts your account into the hands of a collection agency.
