Oh, a law tip from a lawyer: It's frickin' impossible to collect on debts. Our society has too many laws that protect against it. If somebody gets a court judgment, they will still have a hell of a time getting the money from you. For this reason, I always advise one simple thing in any civil dispute: Be the guy who has the money. Do not pay the money. Whoever has the money has *everything.*
When I was 15 I ordered some shit that was C.O.D. and I didn't pay it. Got collection notices, didn't care. I was a minor and knew nothing would happen to me. So ordered all kinds of stuff, like those CD offers from Colombia house and never paid even though I'd get debt collection notices. It was great but the bad thing was those habits followed me after I turned 18. I didn't pay for shit! I'd get all kinds of collectors calling me and I was just like, "Yeah, whatever. Fuck off." I didn't care about the credit problems because I hated credit and would always pay with cash. Well, that's great in many ways but credit still comes in handy so I fucked myself real good when my credit went into the shitter. It's taken some time but I've finally rebuilt it and everything's cool. I don't avoid the bills now.
