Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts

hello,

I settled a lawsuit where I knowingly changed the locks and removed a tenant from a home who bounced her move in check on me. Rent amount was 2700 a month and I refused to let her rack up a bill. I ended up paying what her move in cost would have been.

We settled on a payment and I work with her lawyer on a payment arrangement. During the payment arrangement period the Tenant called and harassed me for payment leaving voice mails stating she would fire her current attorney and sue me for more money.

I guess my question is. should she have been contacting me and do I have any legal recourse i would like to sue for distress and harassment. I have since learned this woman makes her living suing people and has been Deemed Mentally insane By a Massachusetts Superior Court.

Please advise

The parties generally have every right to speak to each other. It is sometimes a bad idea, and sometimes can be quite useful, but it is not prohibited per se.
