My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Mi.

I went to my bk lawyer Tuesday and started the chapt 7 process. The lawyer said that when a creditor calls, to give them his name and phone # and then hang up.

When creditors call, I give them my lawyers name and #. But one creditor said "what chapter are you filing - 7 or 13?" to which I answered "7".

When I told my lawyer this, he said dont tell creditors that because they can still sue me before my filing date (12-1-08). I did NOT tell the creditor my filing date, as far as they know I already filed.

Why the heck would a creditor sue you if they know you are filing/have filed chapter 7?! Is it true that I shouldnt tell the creditors what chapter I am filing?
