Unfortunately brokeharbor, I believe they can continue to call right up to the time you file. I would politely tell them once what you are going to do. If they continue to call, I would ignore them. Once I paid my attorney and got the process rolling, he told me I could refer any collection calls to his office. Yours should do the same.

Depending on the type of debt, there are times when the best strategy is not to inform creditors that you intend to file for BK and then hit them right between the eyes with the case number right after you file.
