Why does it matter that old fart is old? The collector is either an asshat or entirely within its legal rights whether she's 25 or 125. Stop trying to tug heartstrings instead of providing evidence that leads to an actual point, please.



85 or 125 year-olds are significantly less able to dig themselves out of debt situations.

If she killed herself, everyone would be screaming at the bank for not intervening...

I don't care.

When you give money, you stand a chance of losing it all if they can not repay. This is why Debt Collectors can all kiss my ass and the "you should always pay your debt" people are losers that need a bullet in the head.

Not me. I have no soul, and not even a red head.

This.

Interest rates are there in part to reflect the risk of non-repayment of loans. If you don't like that, then raise your interest rates or GTFO the lending business.

And that is your choice isn't it.

Don't lend it out to dead beats and you wont have a problem.

This is why the Criminal Code also doesn't put people in jail for not repaying debt unless they were fraudulent.
