Read your contract carefully, it often disallows exactly this and allows them to apply payments as they see fit which means they can treat your account delinquent and proceed that way even if you believe you're due a credit. I also believe the law tends to agree with that, as a rule of thumb, you can't withhold a priori, except in specific cases like tenant law where an immediately dangerous condition persists due to landlord negligence, broken furnace in winter, etc. That is, it require more urgency than just "I think I'm due this". But, IANAL, and in practice it might of course force the issue since neither side is likely to sue anyhow unless a lot of money is involved. -- -Barry Shein The World | [email protected] | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Login: Nationwide Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
