Is it still legal for the creditors to call me after filing a chapter 7?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
What you describe is a clear violation of the automatic stay, is punishable by the contempt powers of the bankruptcy court and most probably a violation of the federal fair debt collection act. Unless there is something very much out of the ordinary, I do not understand the advice of your attorney's paralegal, and in fact I would suggest that you not take your legal advice from paralegals, but rather the attorneys themselves.

How much cost would it be to file for bankruptcy?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
There is no one answer to your question without knowing the specific facts of your situation. What you should know is that you tend to get what you pay for. The bottom line is that some cases are straightforward, some are not, but you should not think filing is so simple as Bankruptcy attorneys tend to command hourly rates that are higher than those of most other attorneys, which should be an indication of how complex it can get. You need to consult an attorney who explains your options clearly and has a proven track record of successfully discharging debt in hundreds of cases.

Why can't I purchase a car while in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Because that is the price you pay for being in a chapter 13. You cannot buy or sell anything of substantial value without involving either the trustee and/or the court.
