Your service provider will sacrifise a kitten for every pound you owe!

Answer 3

in the U.S., your credit rating will be tagged as "Hi Risk", which will make it very difficult to get credit cards, car loans, home loans, any kind of loan or extended credit without being forced into a high Annual Percent Rate.
Good credit people usually can get 3-7% APR credit cards, and loans. While Hi Risk people fall into the 12-25% APR category.

Also, if you don't pay your mobile, the account will be sent to a Collection Agency, who are contracted to "get the money" form you by calling you at work, home, even on your mobile phone. You basically signed an agreement saying that you will pay the monthly charges, and by not paying your bill, you are in default. This allows the mobile phone company to send a collection agency after you. Not a good thing.

Try contacting the mobile phone company's Account Services/Customer Service department and try to arrange a smaller payment schedule. If you can't, or the company won't, you need to close the account and pay up.

Answer 7

Your service will be disconnected first of all. If you do not pay they will give your debt to a private debt collection company who will harass the life out of you. If you still dont pay they will obtain a CCJ against you and you wont be able to get credit - either for another mobile phone or anything else for that matter xxx

Just to say that T-Mobile use Westcott Credit Collection. They send a littl eman to the door to collect payment from you. I warn you they ARE persistent. I know coz my daughter tried to knock T mobile and I ended up paying x

Answer 8

You will have the phone service cut off, they will take you to court for non-payment and you'll have a bad credit rating. Pay the bill, or try to arrange a payment schedule with them if the bill is too much to pay all at once.

Answer 9

Non payment of any bill will set your credit rating back years, seriously. In the current financial climate, banks are just looking for excuses to blacklist people. If you're hoping to obtain credit for anything ( or a new mobile phone deal ) in the foreseeable future, sort it.

Answer 10

If you live in the U.S. you will be reported to the credit bureau. You will then have problems getting credit. You also will not be able to get another cell phone provider because of an unpaid bill. If it is a substantial amount, they can take you to court and sue you for damages and recovering the amount you owe. If they win, you can have your bank account or wages garnished by the court to pay your debt.

Use a reverse phone lookup to:
Get the identity of an unknown caller.
Identify an area code.
Recall the name of a person whose number you wrote down.
Identify an unfamiliar phone number that shows up on your bill.
