Creditor calls before filing - eek

[Spagal]

I have stopped payment on all credit cards as of the first of the year. I now have 4 companies calling me non stop on my personal line and at my place of employment. I have gotten a new phone for my personal line but kept the old number active and one silent - all calls eventually hit my voicemail. This has worked well. But how the heck do I get them to stop calling me at work? i send those direct to voicemail but the phone is ringing off the hook and my superior actually noticed and said something.

How do I handle this?

You advise them you are not allowed to receive phone calls at work and to cease immediately. They'll comply.

Yep just tell them to stop and remove you work number from the computer. I had to be transfered to a supervisior to do this because some little turd on the phone told me I had to submit the request by mail!! Not true. I also told thm if you keep calling me at work I will lose my job and good luck on getting any money out of me then!
