    unpaid bill. The collection agency sent me a bill for the $42 last week. It says to mail the check to a P.O. Box here in California. Don't these companies have to use a regular address?

    A collection agency reported me for $17! Not sure if there are rules about PO boxes, but I doubt it.

    DO US A FAVOUR, WHEN YOUR CREDIT IS SCREWED OVER $42.00 PLEASE LEAVE US ALL ALONE.

    WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU SNIVEL & WHINE BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE NOT TO PAY YOUR DEBTS!

    And, I have two collections (both paid) for somewhere around $23 each. At the time that I paid them, I attempted to get them removed from my credit reports, but no dice. My advice is to pay them sooner, rather than have them come back to haunt you later.

    Cheers and Prosperity,

    Agencies can have your payments sent to anywhere. My company has them sent to a PO Box for security purposes.

    I actually had an agency tell me NOT to pay a collection (medical bill) for $47. They told me they don't report accounts less than $50. But, after reading the other responses, I wouldn't take the gamble for such a small amount. Be responsible and pay it. I did.
