Re: Terminology poll

Does the claimant necessarily need to agree with the issued claim? Or can
they simply have the claim directed upon them without consent or counter
statement.

Ie: credit check.

Telecommunications company has issue with internal process between outbound
sales and billing system which leads to dispute.

Ie: outsourced sales person signs someone upto a plan that doesn't exist
over the phone.

By the time that's done, and the billing system provides the info after a
cooling off period, the circumstance turns into a dispute.

Dispute is unresolved so telecommunications company lists default on
customers credit record.

Until the dispute is figured out, the "claim" is there yet not necessarily
agreed to by "claimant"...?
