Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin

Never pay in cash unless you want to end up paying twice, or even more than twice, since cash payments leave no paper trail, nor an electronic one, unlike online bank payments, credit card payments, or checks. Of course, if you do pay in cash, get a receipt, but don't expect it to do much for you if payment is truly disputed by the creditor. If the creditor sues you, you can bring in your bank withdrawal evidence, but it may not stand up, since it does not prove that you gave the cash which you withdrew to the creditor. Of course, if you have other financial problems, bankruptcy is another way to avoid paying twice.
