Probably can. Retaining an attorney is not a legal standing. When I give my attorneys number to the collector's, all I am doing is giving them a new contact. Until you actually file the petition and get the automatic stay, the collector's can still use any legal remedies to collect. Mine have ceased activity because (I have been told), they are not inclined to put the resources into an account that they are not going to get anything out of. I doubt that you can get your money back from them. I would close the account before they decide to take more.
Correct...until the bankruptcy stay is in place, nothing changes

they can take it out since you dont have an actual case yet their is no automatic stay in affect they can draft your account monthly until its paid off. Best bet is to pay the attorney ASAP.
