harrassing calls

[casper735]

I am kind of confused. I was told that the calls would stop once we told them we were in the process of filing. We have filled out the paper work, chapter 7, paid all money due, etc. I have a creditor that has called almost daily. I gave him my attorney's number and the phone calls stopped for 2 days. They called again today stating that they can call as much as they want until they actually have a case number. I called the attorney's office and we should have a case number next week. I told the creditor that they must quit calling me and directed her to my attorney's number, address, etc.
Is this the case, they can still call even after I have told them about the bankruptcy until they have a case number??? I am getting really frustrated with this.

Any thoughts?

You need to actualy file and have a case number. When I gave them my case number the calls stopped like magic.

But until you file and get a case # they can still call you WOW

A few creditors called me too until I had a case number and in fact when I told them what we were doing the first thing they asked was the case number. It will stop after you get that. I guess they think you havent officially "done it" until then.

Thanks for the replies. This is the only one I am having a problem with. Everyone else has been so nice and actually seem understanding of the situation (kind of scary). I cannot wait until next week then when we actually have a case number. I thought I would be nervous but I have actually had a sense of relief over the past week. All the facts are laid out on the table from my part. Now, if I can get throught the next few months without any big bumps, I think everything will be fine. I know it is a long road ahead and I am willing to travel that road. It sure has to be a better road than what I have been on.
