They can actually do alot, 1st: Company's Collection agency will call you from 8am until 7pm 2nd: They will continue to report you to the credit bearau hurting your credit. 3rd: They will sell your account to a 3 rd party collector, Now you owe that collector. 4th: You will have problems getting loans, Cars, House, Ect. 5th: If still unpaid they will collect the money when you die. There cut will come out oif your estate. So as you can see your best bet is to get it paid asap.
