One of my CA called my attorney today, whom I retained last week. When he called the attorneys office the receptionist said that I had not retained them, which I have. So I immediatley called the attorneys office and she apologized and said that if he called back she would give him the information that I had indeed retained them and that she made a mistake. So I called the CA back and told the rep this and he said that he did not belive me and that he did his job and that the office needs to send him a letter. So now I am unsure of what to do….. should I do nothing, send a cease and decesist letter, wait and see if he cakks me back, or am I worring about nothing???
Any help or advice would be great.
Thanks
Reply:i would get my attorney to send them a letter.
you've retained them, and they gave out false info, i'm sure they would be HAPPY to help you out here!!
mostly, this will stop the collection calls and notices, which give YOU peace of mind.
*oh, and i would write a letter, too, explaining to executive management how much i appreciate being accused of lying because my attorney's office made a simply error, but that's just me*

Me, too.
But if they did call again, I would tell them to never call me again, and give them my attorney's number again. You don't have to accept phone calls from them.
Reply:Under the new laws creditors can call twice AFTER a bk filing. So the next time they call I would very nicely take their name, correct address for a bk notice to be filed and number. I would advise them once again you have retained counsel.
YET you have not filed bk…so collectors can't be cited for "continued" collections. Therefore I would end the convo by stating that you will make sure they will get "noticed" correctly by the bk court. Until such time please cease and desist calling your home and limit their future correspondence to writing.
Thank you very much, good-bye.
