Does Getting Your Debt Transfered to a Collection Agency Atomatically Gives You a Bad Record?

debt



I have a debt to telus and they fowarded it to a collection agency. I can’t pay the whole amount in full because it’s pretty huge and im stil a student and the agency won’t accept payments(installments). The agecy said that if i don’t pay, it willgo to my record and stay there for 7 years. My question is, doesn’t having your debt frwarded to a collection agency automatically results to abad record? Because if it does, what’s the use of paying the debt? You ALREADY have a terrible credit anyways.
Just to clear equipment out, I’m in Canada.

Where to Go in Canada for a Mobile Home Loan – Other Than Banks or Citifinance?

home loan

We are looking to buy a mobile home in Canada, we own the land already, but my husband hasn’t been working at one job long enough at his job to qualify with banks without a cosigner. We have excellent credit – and a fantastic deal on a new mobile home if we can just find a place to finance the mobile home buy for us. Any thoughts other than Citifinance?
