    They can still sell it to a debt collector who can harass you. I had one do that and those shitstains called me up at work. Really shouldn’t have given me his name and made his work address easy to find, would have made it that much harder for me to file a police report against him personally.

    Hope the five dollars they tried to get out of me was worth it.
