Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Paying a debt
I made a over the phone agreement with a collection company. Now the people they worked for said I still owed them more money. On my last payment I wrote this payment was paid in full. Will this stand up in a court as a debt taking care of? Now I paid the money to the collection company in full as I agreed to them. the amout owed nearly 1000.00 amount paid 550.00. Thank You

Re: Paying a debt
If the debt itself was in dispute, your "Paid In Full" may stand up. If simply a compromise and settlement of an undisputed debt, then proving your verbal agreement may be difficult.
