What happens if you issue a big bad check?

Ouch--bad check to a collection agency--I'd hate to see your credit report.

The obvious thing is to try to pay what you owe ASAP, or arrange for installment payments. Also--DON"T FORGET THAT YOU CAN NEGOTIATE THE AMOUNT! The collection agency buys the debt from the original creditor, so you no longer owe that creditor. The collection agency can still make a profit even if they don't collect the entire amount.

And do it in writing, and KEEP COPIES OF EVERYTHING.
