The Answer:
Dear Johnny,
Mobile phone contracts I’ve seen in Australia can require people to pay the total monthly charge through the end of the agreement, instead of just a termination charge to end the contract early.
So what if the do report you as being late, you are. Just make a monthly payment promise you can afford month after month until this debt is repaid. If you promise a payment that is higher than you can afford and then fail to make the payment it will only create more problems and grief.
