Notice the word "MAY"----that doesn't change the fact that people HIRE attorneys to deal with creditors FOR them and to assist them in manuvering through the labrynth of complicated bankruptcy laws. And it is against the law for creditors to contact, ask for payment, harass, etc. a debtor after the services of an attorney is retained.
So far as this thread is concerned, the operative word in the law I quoted is "shall" not "may." The debtor shall appear for questioning at the meeting of the creditors regardless of whether or not the debtor has legal counsel.

The OP wasn't asking about other types of contact between a creditor and a debtor. Your "advice" in this thread was faulty.
