Thank goodness it was many years ago and not on my credit report. My local library now has a program where you can read away your fines. You get credit toward every hour you read in the library.

I was unaware that library card debits could be sent to a collection agency. I mean it makes total sense but I never thought of it like that. Thanks Mrs. Micah for the mention.

Also, I wonder to what extent those "read conditions of service" pages of fine print you have to click-to-accept at various websites amount to enforceable contracts. Some of those things would take five or ten minutes to read and figure out. Most people click to accept without even glancing at them. What, really, are we committing ourselves to?

Every signature line now has a promise to pay! The new Bankruptcy laws are gonna make getting out of that tough. The One everyone forgets about is the Credit card slip.

The last time I moved I had to go through hoops to cancel my internet service without paying any fees. They wanted me to transfer my service or pay a fee. I finally convinced them not to charge me, but it took much more work than I wanted it to.
