REGARDING OLD BILLS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN PAID
Question:
I have an old telephone bill which I have not yet paid off, what should I do?
Answer:
The amount on the bill which you have not paid is a debt which you are answerable with regard to. So it is obligatory upon you to hasten in paying it off, so as to remove from yourself any liability regarding it.
