Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Verbal Agreement with a company

I wrote a check to a company for a $800.00 it was returned for NSF. it was sent to a collection company. I made a agreement with the collection company that i would pay them the following week the man that was reperenting the company agreed to this. but three days later ran the check again, and bounced 7 checks my bank charged me $35.00 for each check. totaling $245.00 in return fees alone. am i entitled to say that this company is in breach of a verbal contract? if so am i entitled to ask the collection company to eat the $245.00 and take it out of the $800.00 that i owe them. i want to do the right thing but i dont want to be cheated either.

You can try to make this argument in court, after filing a lawsuit, but I doubt you would be successful.

You are lucky they did not file criminal charges if for goods or services...I would tread lightly..but if there is no danger of criminal charges...you need to talk to the people you wrote the check to.NOT a collection company..be careful
