I had forgotten, I'm sorry. And I think I may have missed the second post entirely.

But I'm very glad you got it cleared up (and very surprised someone could use a cell phone for six months without paying; I knew perfectly well it is possible to track that kind of thing very closely because my pay-go phone starts whining to be topped up ten days before it runs out of service. That's one of its less endearing characteristics.)

I think the cell phone company plans on collecting that debt, regardless of its validity. Probably, they succeed a fair bit of the time: not everyone can produce the documentation the collection agency demands and not everyone can find out how to fight them.
