[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 238604, member: 84"] Be stubborn. It works. Do not pay until they go back to the original agreement and send you a letter that arrives with a date that allows you to pay before the due date for the agreement. If they want their money, they'll cooperate. Otherwise, tell them they get no money. You are not responsible for difficult child's debt. You are doing [B]them a favor[/B] by offering to pay that debt, even a negotiated amount. Remind them that it is no skin off your nose if they don't get paid. And then remind them that difficult child always has the option of claiming bankruptcy or going to see a lawyer about companies that make contracts with mentally incompetent persons. You could also hint heavily that if it goes to court for collection, you're gonna win. Odds are a judge is gonna laugh them right out of the court room. (seen it happen and it's satisfying :) ) Believe me, they might go down screaming, but they'll take the money everytime. Unfortunately, the one thing I have way too much experience with is credit collectors. ugh! [/QUOTE]
