wiegie Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 if it is his debt and he is going to pay anyone it should be the original creditor and not a collection agency. So, morally what he should do is stonewall the collections agency until the 7 years is completely past, then send an anonymous payment in the amount of the original debt (plus reasonable interest**) to the original lender. **I would use the prime rate as the interest rate, but I wouldn't feel any real obligation to pay late fees etc. (Of course, have we established yet whether or not the money is actually owed?)

Azazello1313 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 So.......Republicans should have not complain about higher taxes to pay off the national debt that has been incured by Dubya's war? After all, it is THEIR debt. if it's my debt then they can take my portion outta social security, farm subsidies, pork-barrell appropriations, and the like, and you can pay for those.

I'm not calling Azz names, and he isn't calling me names. Why would this be gunned? However, I will go back and delete the post if I've potentially offended anyone or if it would make you guys happy.

Furd Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 so since it's almost 7 years, maybe you're right and he can weasel his way out of paying his debts with no negative consequences. some people might quibble with your "no obligation to pay" characterization, though. it IS his debt. Fair enough. How about no legal obligation to pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the state of the tailgate, introducing politics into any thread is a fantastic way to get it gunned. It's not caustic now, but these things have a tendency to end up that way. I don't think it's offensive, just a good way to kill an interesting thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 by the way, he said that the account is 7 years old. that doesn't mean all of the debt is. they can and will f*ck with his credit pretty bad up through those 7 years. Which is way I referenced "debt" and did not reference "account." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Among other things, they contribute to global poverty. ...which is OK as long as it's not American farmers in poverty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
