Phone balance due on credit score.

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to USA, I moved from Australia in September. I got my first sim card from AT & T with my passport as my documents. It was a pre paid one (though AT & T a wireless account). AT & T is expensive and service is not so great. I ported my number from AT & T to mint which is much cheaper. 

However, I do have a bill of 164 dollars in AT & T. I was of the opinion that if I don't pay my service will be suspended but there is an outstanding bill. So, my question does that bill amount affect my credit score. Note that AT & T people don't have my SSN details. 

Thanks

If you owe the bill I suggest you pay it or this will hit your reports .

It most certainly will hit your credit reports.

Definitely pay it. They will come after you. If you stop paying, yes service will be suspended, but they'll still come after you for that final bill.

Yes it will wreck your credit.

In any event, you should honor your agreement and pay it.

Agree with all the comments above, also I'll add that even without your SSN they can still update your credit reports with a collection if you do not pay.
