Replying To:
Consequences Of Not paying (none / 0) (#10)
by Anonymous User on Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 06:15:12 AM PDT

I was billed for something that I shouldn't have been (I don't remember now exactly what it was, but I never ordered or received it) so I called the company who sent me the bill to complain and the company refused to see things my way. I told them I would never pay them under any circumstances, they threatened me with a collection agency, I told them the same thing again. I got a call from a collection agency some time after that and I told them my story and told them I'd never pay them either. That was the last I heard about it (probably 15 years now) and it did not affect my credit. Does anyone know if this is the norm for things like this? If you just flat out refuse and they know you are right do they just give up? Or was I just lucky?
