Many collection agencies use automatic dialers so that may be one reason. Did you offer the agencies you attorneys phone number or did you give it to them. If the number they are calling is a cel phone you can request that they remove that number and stop calling. Ouch, nine cards, thats a lotta calls. Are they all included in your program?
I hope you researched the settlement company before you signed a contract with them... collection agencies dont like dealing with settlement companies... agencies may only have an account for 60 days before it gets sold to another agency. So if you dont have funds available to settle your account, then the account receives no payment.
Correct me if Im wrong readers, but settlement companies dont do payments they just settle. An all or nothing situation. Ive seen folks get sued because of settlement companies not paying out. My personal experience with settlement companies... Ive never received a payment and very rarely get my calls returned.
Best of luck with your journey to being debt free! A long hard journey but very satisfying when its all over.

Until payments start, the calls will continue. If the attorney is not returning calls, they will continue to call you.
Next to spending like a drunken sailor, entering into a contract
Next to spending like a drunken sailor, entering into a contract with one of these debt settlement companies is the dumbest idea on the planet. There are many of these companies that are as crooked as the illegal collection agencies. Most others....possibly excepting cccs....are simply ineffective. Many lose payments, forget to make payments on time, etc.
If you are using a debt settlement company, you better be doing the checking behind them to make sure payments are on time. If you are going to have to do that, why even pay them good money to begin with?
They are typically dumb ideas and end up showing on your credit similar to a bankruptcy (or very close to it).
