Phone Calls

Just wanted to say that since we filed last Wednesday the daily 20+ phone calls have diminished to nada, zilch nothing a big fat ZERO as of today. Now onto my 341 meeting.

Isn't the silence nice? I gave the creditors my attorney's contact information over a month ago and the calls stopped for the most part. Now that I filed, it is nice to know they can't call even if they wanted to!

It's tough to be so lonely isn't it...........

We filed right before some primary elections in my county. When the phone rang from a 1-800 number I picked it up, ready to blast a creditor with my new BK information. Imagine my surprise when the call started out as "Hi, my name is XXX and I'm running for county commissioner..."

Such a letdown. lol

The silence is def a good thing and you'll get used to it quickly!

The silence is amazing since I filed. After the first few days, I only had one creditor call - and that was to sell me identity protection on one of the cards I had included in bankruptcy.

The reaction was interesting when I posed the question - "Now how exactly is this going to be billed, since that card was included in bankruptcy. I'm assuming that account was closed due to me filing?"


Anyway, sometimes now I have to check periodically to make sure I've still got a dial tone. I get a LOT fewer calls these days!

So jealous! Our phone rings NON STOP. As do our cell phones. Most calls go to voice mail, and we answer a few here and there, however it's still so annoying.

Silence is golden.

JEM,

At first I felt obligated to answer the calls but after the first month I said screw it. I didn't have the money to pay and I knew I was going to file so I didn't pick up their calls for 5 months. I disconnected our landline at home and let all numbers I didn't recognize go to voicemail on my cell.

It's great when that phone quits ringing.

I changed my cell phone number so i would have a little peace if I was away fro home. When I filed, the silence was almost deafening.

I had a few that kept calling after we filed I actually enjoyed taking the call then. Didn't take long to get out of the dialer once they knew I filed.
