[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 238824, member: 84"] Your kid can't go to jail. You can't be jailed over debt in this country. (unless that debt is with the IRS or child support) But I wouldn't put it past them to attempt to scare you with it. I've heard worse over the years. And by the way, they get enraged when you laugh at them. (yes, I know I can be evil lol) Hold onto that agreement. Stick to your guns. IF the supervisor refuses to give you a new solid agreement.....Tell them you'll be seeing them in court. And don't let court scare you. No biggie, sort of like small claims court. You usually stand before a referee. Collection agency states their case, you give your side. And in this case, you'd win. You're trying your best to pay them. They're the ones trying to pull a fast one. As for the referee.....They don't necessarily rule in favor of the creditors either. These places buy the debts, and make money by charging interest. They know it's a gamble when they buy it. Judges and referees don't seem to have much respect for creditors. (think vultures and you get the right idea) People with long term illnesses suffer with creditors. Fact of life. But creditors hate me. They can't scare me, intimidate me, threaten me. I've even reported several for harrassment and got them to leave me alone by threatening to press charges. And it really POs me because if I had the money in the first place.......they'd never be in the darn picture. sheesh Dig your heels in. Think of them as difficult children. Most of the time they act like it. ;) Hugs [/QUOTE]
