Elder Marvin J. Ashton stated:
Latter-day Saints who ignore or avoid their creditors are entitled to feel the inner frustrations that such conduct merits, and they are not living as Latter-day Saints should! (Marvin J. Ashton, “One for the Money,” Ensign, July 1975, 72)
We are honest in all our dealings.
