My friend had some old credit cards with a status of "charge off." Bill collector bought the debt and started hounding him. He made a payment. BIG MISTAKE! The debts were too old to collect, but he didn't know. Making a payment brought them back to life. Super #evil #debtcollector #zombiedebt #debt
