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?
Also they seem very stunned that I have the ability to pay 00 to the lawyer. They kept saying, "are you sure you made the payment to the lawyer? are you aware the payment for the lawyer is more than what you owe us?"
They keep on pressing me to communicate with them, and the lawyer said never to open my mouth except to refer them to him.
abel, this is a useless answer. my lawyer has already pulled my bankruptcy report from all 3 credit bureaus.
cat dad: they have ignored my letter.
i mean NCO financial, not CFO financial.
should i let my bankruptcy lawyer know about this? or i should not bother him?
