Debt is that which is owed; usually referencing assets owed, but the term can also cover moral obligations and other interactions not requiring money. In the case of assets, debt is a means of using future purchasing power in the present before a summation has been earned. Some companies and corporations use debt as a part of their overall corporate finance strategy. A debt is created when a creditor agrees to lend a sum of assets to a debtor. In modern society, debt is usually granted with expected repayment; in most cases, plus interest. PaymentBefore a debt can be made, both the debtor and the creditor must agree on the manner in which the debt will be repaid, known as the standard of deferred payment. This payment is usually denominated as a sum of money in units of currency, but can sometimes be denominated in terms of goods or services. Payment can be made in increments over a period of time, or all at once at the end of the loan agreement. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by SPIFIMAN1 - Tue Nov 13 19:53:06 2007 How do I go about paying off debts to collection agencies? Q. I have numerous old credit card debts that have been sold to collection agencies. (About $4,000). These are from when I graduated from college and became unemployed over six years. I kept paying some of them, but on others, the statute of limitations has run (it's four years in California). I am able to pay off this debt fairly quickly now and would like to begin repairing my credit. Once these are paid I want to make sure that this information appears on my credit report.

I got a credit report online, but the information is pretty vague, you can't tell when the last time I paid was on any of them.

THey are all crooks. You need to read up on your state laws and the FCRA and FDCPA. Pull all three credit reports and compare them. Find any violations and document them for a lawsuit later. Free money. Some dummy keeps saying that contacting CAs, or whoever will reset the seven year limit that a baddie stays on your report. That is not true. Making a payment on a debt can reset the SOL, but, unless you bring the account current, the seven years starts from the date of delinquency where the account was never brought current afterwards +180 days. You can also negotiate a PFD (Pay for delete) with the Collection Agencies. Make sure you get it in writing. … [cont.] Answered by hans6883 - Fri Jun 15 10:55:01 2007 Is it legal for collection agencies or medical debts to garnish yor social security checks?

Hello Riggs, In this case, No. Section 207 of the Social Security Act provides: "The right of any person to any future payment under this title shall not be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none of the moneys paid or payable or rights existing under this title shall be subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law."
