         existence or amount of the debt is disputed.
            * Payment experiences reflect how bills are met in relation to the
         terms granted.  In some instances payment beyond terms can be the
         result of disputes over merchandise, skipped invoices etc.
            * Each experience shown represents a separate account reported by a
