I wish I could stop the telephone calls!!

So I wrote to all my creditors 2 1/2 weeks ago, explaining I was no longer employed, not able to meet my financial commitments and seeking help from the National Debtline. I asked (politely!) if they would refrain from contacting me by phone and instead write to me.
Since then I have sent them another letter to tell them that National debtline are completing a dro application for me but that it's taking approx 8 weeks to complete, and again asking them to please contact me by post. I also enclosed a token payment as a gesture of goodwill as advised. Most of my creditors do SEEM (!) to have stopped phoning - BUT Lloyds TSB are driving me up the wall - they contact me several times a day between 7.30am and 8.30pm, every day, requesting that I make an immediate payment of several hundred pounds. It doesnt matter how many times you say the same thing they still call. They now say that they will instruct solicitors to my case - what is the point ?!! I'm declaring myself insolvent for gods sake. Will have gone completely insane by the time 8 weeks is up! So if anyone from Lloyds TSB is cruising this board - Please leave me the hell (in replace of stronger word ) alone!!

only answer is to change your number or don't answer, if you do answer, don't answer their security questions and they can't ask you anything, it really bugs them.

They do it as some may end up paying, I can't see it being a high number but it must be enough for them to bother?
