- nkozyra 6y agoWhat does "to your door" mean here, because it's exactly how the process works in the US. Typically if don't pay a bill you'll get a few months to rectify with fees tacked on, then internal collections will happen or it'll be sold to a collection service. In both cases you'll get letters and eventually if the amount is high enough or the debt other otherwise motivated, a summons for pre trial mediation and then a civil suit.
- calvano915 6y agoThis might vary in pre vs postpaid accounts. Postpaid typically includes credit check which requires submission of info that could later be used for collections.
- kortilla 6y agoMost of these subscriptions (nyt, prime, etc) are not debt. They are a service you pay monthly in advance for.
- nkozyra 6y agoThe example I was replying to was internet service, though.
- danielscrubs 6y agoNo it isn’t. They will take fees until they don’t get any more and then a part of the government will handle it. Which part of Europe are you from?
