first attempt to stop creditors from calling me

[eko976]

I filed for chapter 7 om 1/5.
They are still calling me
I don't know how many days after filing they receive notice, so I answered a call Today.
I told them that I filed for BK.
They asked me for lawyer's name, phone number and case number
Should I tell them all of that?

Yes.

It takes a few days for things to start happening in your benefit. Just give them the info and things will quieten off rather quickly.

just give them the case number and your lawyer's phone as other folks have said.
they'll take down the information and stop calling.
most collection callers were pretty nice about it once I told them.

It took about 3-5 days for the calls to completely stop for me. I just turned the phone off (well, I had the ringer off for the 3 months prior). I notified each creditor once when they called. After that, they were on their own and could talk to my voicemail all they wanted. Capital One spoke hourly the week I filed!

If you have any auto-pays scheduled, you may have to cancel them separately. I had one set up with Dell. They've taken it out twice since filing, even though I followed their procedure for canceling, so we go for sanctions if it's not refunded by next week.

Answer the calls and give them your case number & lawyer information. The calls will stop

Yep. Calls will stop very soon. Until then, keep giving them the info. Most were very cordial once I told them I was filing.
