Thank you all!

I know that's my situation NOKIA - lawyer cannot file till first week of MAY or so, so I figure WHY give anyone the "heads up?"

Wife wants to answer phone and tell creditors, I'm like, that's what the answering machine is for - why put your cards on teh table TWO MONTHS early???? Does that make sense? Am I too paranoid???

we had to wait 2 YEARS to file!!!!!!!!!! so i really understand...but we got new phones that could put the numbers on "block" and it was the best investment ever.

your not too paranoid...LOL!!! it just goes with the territory...you'll be good to go soon enough...i know it seems like forever, but this is just the bumps you hit along the way..

frogger...i'm with you on that one!

but SOMEONE in this house enjoyed the calls.....actually had a few in tears...(the truth i swear)....

i answered the first few times and then wasted my time with CD letter certified mail which all ended up in mail room twilight zone...

we moved 1800 miles away....got a new phone...we thought GREAT......ceptin for this guy owned everyone and their mother and their mother's mother...and they wouldn't believe me when i said WE ARE NOT THEM!!!!! a bit of karma i guess!

even now...after over two years discover called.......for the other person!

there is usually no way to stop them other than to block the call..someway...even our atty..whom was so nice wrote them all as well....and i gave them the firms number they do NOT care until you get the actual "docket" number.

A better questions is:

"Why are you answering the phone?"

IMO, you tell no one nothing.

Hello everyone. Will be (fingers crossed) be filing for Ch 7 in...about 2 to 2.5 months.

Lawyer gave us guide to tell creditors to call him.

Question (which may be stupid) - if I start telling the gazillion phone callers to call my lawyer, don't give a "heads up" to the creditors? In other words, if I can deal with the gazillion phone calls per day, why would I tell anything to anyone until I actually file???

Or is this totally stupid....

THANK YOU!!!!!
