Collection agency, CFO financial still calls me even though I provided them my bankruptcy attorney's info?
I will be filing chapter 7 bankruptcy and I paid 00 to the bankruptcy lawyer. The attorney advised me that if I get any collection agency calls, I tell them to contact him instead of me talking to them.
So per his advise, I keep telling creditors that if they have any questions, they kindly contact my bankruptcy attorney instead of calling me. However, a collection agency named CFO financial says that they will still continue calling me for payment regardless of the fact that i provided them the lawyer info.
Isn’t this harassment? The collection agency clearly knows it I cannot pay and they know it I have retained a bankruptcy lawyer and they know it well chapter 7 is on the way. However they insist to call me instead of communicating with attorney. Why?
I am tired of telling them "to contact my lawyer" and they still keep ringing the phone a lot. Isn’t this supposed to be a violation of my rights?
It seems this collection agency is asking to be sued by the attorney for doing this. Why?
I’m assuming their pay is based on getting any $$ from you. There is also something about if they receive any kind of payment then you’re acknowledging the debt….?? I dunno. But since you’re already filing, just screen your calls and don’t answer. It’ll be a hassle but only for a short time. As soon as your bankruptcy goes through they’ll leave you alone.
