Generally no, but it depends upon other events and the state you live in. That would take a court order for garnishment of wages.

The procedure goes something like this:

1) You default

2) They harass you to get you to pay it back

3) They charge it off and sell the debt to a 3rd party collector

4) The collector harasses you. Perhaps if the amount is substantial they will file a lawsuit.

5) You either fight the case or they win a default judgment on the debt (most of the time people ignore the summons and lose by default). ALWAYS answer a lawsuit.

6) If they win the suit, they can try to collect depending upon state laws. They can:

  • File to garnish wages (I know Texas doesn't allow this)
  • Attach any bank accounts they can find
  • File liens on property of value

7) One exception to this rule is if you have a checking/savings account at a bank that you owe money to. They can seize those funds as an 'offset' to their likely loss on a default without having to get a court order. You authorized this when you set up your account (in the small print).

Hope that helps

When should Skype credit be issued?

"Skype credit should be issued if the service goes down, or if the user is unable to use the software properly. I'd imagine that the company issues credit to their users in a case-by-case basis, but only when the problem was the company's fault (not the fault of the user)."
