You gain NOTHING. I repeat NOTHING by paying off a 3rd party collection agency. Most won't even put a mark on your cr that it's paid. If they do, it's went into collections, paid. Which won't do ANYHTHIGN to your credit score. So you get these stupid americans (notice a trend) that pay thousands to an "agency" which is just 5 people working out of someone's house - thousands just to stop them from harassing them. hahaha. Incredible.
Do corporations get creditors harassing them? And Wall St gets off from paying TRILLIONS in bills. Which makes your debts PENNIES compared to what Wall ST fucks over their creditors. And on top of that, they get TRILLIONS of your tax payers from King Obama to boot!
Credit is what big business uses to CONTROL the middle class. Ever wonder why it's a negative connation from consumers not paying their bills, but none for businesses? In fact NOT paying their bills is known as "financial reorganization to become stronger for the future. Stocks Rise!"
SAY NO TO DEBT. I've said tihs a gazillion times.
