		body: "<p><strong>QUESTION:</strong> Kelly in Spokane and her husband are newlyweds starting the Baby Steps. He has a credit card that was turned over to a debt collector. They had been taking payments out of their checking account, and they canceled it after listening to Dave. The debt isn&rsquo;t on his credit report, which makes Kelly nervous.</p><p><strong>ANSWER:</strong> You don&rsquo;t have any current statements. Ask for a current statement on where this account stands. And when you get one, then resume payments. It&rsquo;s behind anyway. Don&rsquo;t pay them anymore until you get a current statement as to where this account stands. They can tack on all kinds of stuff. That doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;re going to pay it, but they can tack it on. What may end up happening is you end up settling for a lump sum later.</p><p>It not being on his credit report doesn&rsquo;t mean anything. That just means they haven&rsquo;t reported it. You still owe the money, and you still don&rsquo;t know how much.</p><p>American Express is your problem. Those people are complete buttholes. They&rsquo;re just absolutely ridiculous to work with. And you&rsquo;re not dealing with a collector. You&rsquo;re dealing with an in-house agency. They just changed the names and moved the butt down the hall. That&rsquo;s all it is. They still work for American Express. They haven&rsquo;t sold the debt or farmed it out. They do their own collections. It&rsquo;s usually going to be either New York or Phoenix or Jacksonville, Florida, and then you&rsquo;re dealing with AmEx idiots. If you&rsquo;ve talked to them, they&rsquo;re just complete morons. They&rsquo;re abusive, abrasive, they&rsquo;re twerps. I will never do business with any branch of that company again after dealing with them. They lie.</p><p>You probably are paying who you&rsquo;re supposed to be paying, but the problem is unless you get a statement that you can tie your payments back to, they lie so much&mdash;you can tell they&rsquo;re lying if their mouth&rsquo;s moving&mdash;they just make crap up. It is a filthy company. You&rsquo;ve really got to get statements. What I would do is call them every day. Tell them when they get you a statement, you&rsquo;ll get them some money. You need to clear it up. It&rsquo;s not something that just because they&rsquo;re idiots we&rsquo;re going to ignore. You&rsquo;ve got a debt that is legitimate that you do owe, and you need to pay your debt. That part is there, and it&rsquo;s not going to go away. It&rsquo;s just going to get worse. We need to get it cleared up. Let&rsquo;s just force their hand and make them give you a statement as soon as possible. I wouldn&rsquo;t give them any more money until you get a statement, because they lie. You&rsquo;ve got to have something that you can tie the math back to and clear this mess up.</p>",
