ORIGINAL: defiantbadgirl Then why is the cell phone company saying they wanted an agreement with him to make partial payments and saying if they had that agreement they never would have contacted a collection agency? They simply lost the record of him contacting them. Company computers do go downfrom time to time. Info is lost. I think you're confusing keeping the phone on with the whole collection agency thing. According to the cell phone company, in order for the phone to remain on he was required to pay in full. But in order to keep it from going to a collection agency, he was required to make payment arrangements. Two different things. Nope, I am not confusing this. The contract required him to pay in full. He defaulted. End of story. Now, if the company would have accepted partial payments that would have been nice for him. He would have still broken the contract, but they would have accommodated him. But, he has had no right to that accommodation. So, now bitching that the company blundered in giving his debt over to a collection agency is not warranted. They had every right to do that as soon as he did not pay in full. Yes, it is bad luck that he might have been able to have an easier way of dealing, if the company would have been on the ball, but, as he had no right to that, he will just have to deal. It boils down to the fact that he made the debt. He had no right whatsoever to concessions by his debtors. Bitching that he did not get to get accommodations he had no right to in the first place is not going to help you.
