Something funky going on but let me explain.
I retained a bankruptcy attorney in December and I'm still pending bankruptcy since I'm still making regular payments to the attorney to pay my retainer (i was diagnosed with cancer last year and the majority of my money has been directed towards not dying). That being said i regularly get calls from creditors about once a month from some of them asking about my bankruptcy. I tell them they have to speak with my attorney etc. Most are understanding and generally take the lawyer information without a fuss. However, three months ago I received a phone call from a man that was clearly not American, if I guessed it would be Indian, calling me on my cell and worst of all at work. (I've already had to have my lawyer send cease and desist letters to some of my creditors becuase I cannot receive phone calls at work.) Anyway, I provided him with my attorney's information and he really seemed disinterested in talking to me once I told him I had an attorney.
Well another month passed and I received another phone call from an "investigator" who was investigating me for "fraud" on behalf of one of my creditors. I explained to him there unwillingness to take the attorney information in phone calls, emails and fax, they always claimed that I never told them about my attorney. He then laughed off the situation and told me not to worry that he'd close my case and provide the company with my attorney information. But he did tell me to be careful with phone calls I'd receive from people with an Indian accent calling and that they are being investigated for fraud. Very nice guy.
Well today they called again. They called my cellphone and didn’t answer and they called my work again. I called back and was told that they were they office of Attorney James Parker, and they told me there was a "lawsuit pending against my social security number" I may not be a lawyer but that just does not sound right, and they told me I needed a lawyer. I told them I had one and provided them with his information. Once again he seemed very disinterested and hung on me once he got #. Are these phone calls fakes? If so has anyone dealt with them before? And how do I stop the calls at least to my work?
Also, I called them back after I was hung up on and I asked for a fax number and the person I talked to seemed very mad that I was asking for one and after much schmoozing one my part was able to get it. They are unable to provide a clear picture of who they are, who hired them, and what they want. They seem only interested in pestering me. Can my lawyer send them a cease and desist since they are claiming to be one of my creditors? I really don’t know what to do in this situation.
