A Twist: Predatory Borrowing!
For reasons not entirely clear to me, I am receiving advertisements for seminars on debt collecting. An example's here. Leaving aside my need to "protect creditor assets" from the rapacious pitfalls of the FDCPA and other such scourges, I am particularly intrigued by the branding message to "steer clear of predatory debtors' attorneys". This is surely a co-option of "predatory lending," which has (finally) worked its way into the policymaking lexicon. Frank Luntz (sorry, Dr. Frank Luntz) would be so proud!
Here's a real funny. I've received such advertisements by email -- at my court address!
