A stay regarding debt collection is automatic with very few exceptions for government entities. That is to prevent a creditor to move forward with any negative actions against the debtor while the bankruptcy is being precossed. As to the stay in the reverse, the filing of a motion can be sufficient without having to be physically present at a creditors hearing. A telephonic appearance is also possible but you would need to be served with any requests to lift the stay in the debtor's behalf.
