Give them a call, they will work with you. Collection Agencies are happy when you can at least pay them something, that's how they make money... they will just extend the term of your pay off date that's all - so that its in their benefit. Collection Agencies are also there to instill fear into people - they are used to dealing with people who end up becoming chronic customers forever. When do you get a job, save up the money then call them to negotiate a pay off for LESS than the amount owed. You can do this if you have something substantial to negotiate with. As an example, if you call and ask for an extension then in 6 months you come up with $4000 (loan or parents gift?) and the amount you owe is let's say around $4900 You can negotiate and say "Look I have $4000 and that's it, I wo not have anymore income because I am a full time college student - so I can pay this off with $4000 or I am just going to let this lapse into uncollectible debt." In the mean time yes, call them and let them know your current situation and make sure you document who you talked to, when and what was discussed. They will work with you
1. Collection of mathematical formulas
Going by Google Books, it is recognised and acceptable to use formulary to refer to a collection of mathematical formulae. There is also a 1963 book titled, Mathematical Formulary, Including All Formulae Required for Mathematics I and II.The etymonline entry for formulary notes:Mathematical use is from 1796; use in chemistry is from c. 1846. So, you are on safe ground etymologically as well

I reccommend checking store flyers to find the best deal, and to research makeup before you buy, so you do not end up with crap. Check out makeupalley.com for honest reviews on products, and youtube for video reviews :)
5. Should you ever pay collection agencies?
First off, this is applicable to paying a 3rd party collection company who is hired by your original creditor (as opposed to a collection company that purchased the debt).It is rarely the best idea to pay the collection agency.Why? The collection agency is paid a percentage of the amount collected which the original creditor factors into any settlement offer you might make. Lets hang some numbers on this. You owe $1000 that is placed with a collection agency who takes a 30% cut.If they collect the full $1000 from you, the creditor gets $700 and the agency gets $300.Now, if you make a settlement offer of $500 to the collection agency, that means that the creditor would only next $350 which may be below their policy threshold for settlements. But, that same offer made directly to the creditor (with no collection agency in the mix) might be accepted as the creditor would net $500 vs $350.You can get the collection agency off you back by sending them a cease and desist letter that states that you will only deal with the original creditor.This all changes when you are dealing with a collector who purchased the debt and owns it. In this situation, know your rights and the statute of limitations as it relates to a debt. If you are near, at or past that date, tell them to get bent (but not why) and let the statute run out.The only thing that you DO NOT ignore is if you get served with a law suit. That you have to respond to otherwise, past the statute or not (which you have to raise as a defense, the court won't do it for you) they can get a judgment against you.I am not a lawyer and nothing here should be construed as legal advice. Why should you never pay a collection agency?
