June 8 - Elitist Arrogance, Part II

 A basic economic premise holds that when the price of something rises, people seek to economize on its use. They seek substitutes for that which has risen in price.

On Atlantic Offshore Drilling, President Pulls a Bait And Switch

Dear Dave,

If a credit card company has charged off a debt, can they still sell that debt to someone else who can come after it? I’m currently receiving calls about a debt that’s more than 20 years old. Do you have any suggestions?

Lisa

Dear Lisa,

Charging off a debt doesn’t mean that the right to collect has been given up or revoked. All it means is that the debt is no longer on their books as an asset. They don’t think they’re going to collect, but it doesn’t mean that the legal right to collect has ended.
