[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 251805"] Thank you everyone...I had to read your posts quickly...I have a test very soon. A little update...the collection agency is basically out of the picture. They will not contact difficult child any longer. They suggested we write the phone co. They gave us the info to do that. They said they will also contact the phone co. They want the phone co. to make a final decision as to what to do next. They are writing it up in their files as a dispute...which I gather means it is unresolved. There is a certain dispute-like element to it...difficult child said the phone only worked for two days. In fact, records showed she used it for two days...made two calls. She said she then put it in a drawer and forgot about it. Now, she can't find it. (Of course...the main problem is that difficult child should not have been given credit. The manager at the store...interesting fella). We are going to write the letter over the weekend and give it more thought if we want to pursue it any further... will re read these posts later...will consider what has been said. We have not told difficult child much...have told her that this is likely to hurt her credit. We obviously don't wish her to know that she can credit so easily. This is a catch 22 situation. It is so sad that credit is given so easily in this country...companies knowing full well what they are doing...it is noteworthy...considering the recent housing situation and the economic fiasco we are currently in. Not a political statement...but husband mentioned it...it seemed to have been thrown in my face with- this situation (note what store manager said about giving credit to bums in street...) Side note: I too throw away any offers like this that come to difficult child in the mail. She changes apts. so frequently, I doubt that much of anything comes to her there. However, I see now that there are other easy opportunities for her to get credit AND there is a certain "bad intent" element to the entire thing. What happened to the reasoning that credit was only given to folks who at least had a reasonable chance to pay it back? What is wrong with this picture? She seems more than a little "afraid" of credit...but you know how this stuff can go with difficult children. [/QUOTE]
