Probate Law - creditors? |
My father-in-law passed away almost 2 years ago. We followed the law - hired an attorney - contacted all of his creditors in writing and posted an ad in the paper for the appropriate amount of time. The estate paid all of his bills that the creditors forwarded to them. One creditor then decided after the allowed time that it wanted to add an additional amount. (I guess this is not allowed in the state of Florida.) Our lawyer advised us not to pay it. They started calling us. I forwarded the calls to our lawyer - which started costing us money (I think it was $30 every call). They gave up and sold the debt to a new company which then started calling us. The estate is closed. The original $60 that I think was the interest on the balance due has now blossomed into a wonderful $5000 and they are calling constantly. What is the law that I can site that will get them to stop or how can I make them stop calling? You do not have to pay it. You should report them to your state's consumer protection agency. Hi, |
