[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 251798, member: 2315"] My difficult child had a $800 dollar balance outstanding with one wirelesss company a $1600 balance outstanding at a jewlers and a $900 overdraft at the bank and still was able to get a phone contract with another company which he also defalted on. He now carries another cell phone but tells me it is a pay as you go plan. I don't know if I believe that or not. I no longer help him with his "credit problems". He knows not to even ask. I recently helped him pay off one of the Telephone bills that had been bought by a collection agency. I got it down to less than half then had difficult child do a big paint scraping job on my out building. He hasn't quite finished but he is still working on it when the weather is good and he isn't in program. Maybe if/when he does finish I might possibly consider another Job for him that I would have to hire out anyway and then pay off another of his debts. That will depend on whether or not he stays away from credit entirely lives within his budget for a good while and avoids legal trouble of any sort. -RM [/QUOTE]
