A of My First of all jobs implied debt collection. Fortunately, I doesn't work For A sordid agency that harassed poor people WHO had No money. Instead, I work For A Company that sold some products And called other companies has remind them about late invoices. A lot times, people appreciated THE nudge And paid their invoices. In these case, THE business could continue has buy some products And services In A mutually beneficial business relationship.

When the business did not pay THE debt, however, it could No longer purchase some products. Deals relationship was broken.
