Readers of this blog will want to take a look at a four-part series from the Boston Globe called "Debtor’s Hell." In the words of the Globe, this series is an "investigation into the world of
consumer debt in the United States found a system where debt collectors
have a lopsided advantage, debtors are often treated shabbily by
collectors and the courts, and consumers can quickly find themselves in
a life-upending financial crisis." The Boston Globe‘s series comes on the heels of a July 5 article in the NY Times ($) about possible regulatory responses to increasingly aggressive debt collection practices.
