Introduction
A debt occurs when one person (the debtor) owes money to another (the creditor). People can get into debt in any number of ways; for example, they receive regular demands for payment of accounts for such things as electricity, doctors’ fees, loans and credit cards.
If you, as a debtor, receive an account, then ask: 1 Do you owe the creditor the money? 2 Is there any reason why you shouldn’t pay the debt? 3 Can you afford to pay the debt?
