==Page move to "Debt Sales & Acquisitions"==
The sources in this article and in the industry in general don't support moving this page to "Debt Sales & Acquisitions". That looks to me like a sanitized name that may be preferred by some, but is not the name commonly used. The leading trade association is DBA, which stood for Debt Buyers Association, until they apparently decided to be known simply as DBA.--<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype">[[User:Kubigula|Kubigula]] ''([[User talk:Kubigula|talk]])''</span> 03:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

==Under construction ==
== It is not illegal for a Junk Debt Buyer to sue ==


I added the Under construction template as there is some content that needs referencing, updating and/or replacing dead urls. There is a lot of content related to controversies at this time which I realize needs to be balanced.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn|talk]]) 16:54, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Junk Debt Buyers through their representatives sue all the time 365 days a year. The courts do not stop them. They accept the filings and documentation no matter how dodgy the paperwork it. It is not illegal. It should be. The consumer is left with the only option available to him, to defend themselves.

I had attempted to replace the deadurl in the 2006 MSN Money article by Liz Pulliam Weston with one published by a law professor but this was a copyright violation apparently and was removed. It would be great to have another legal link to this article.<ref name="Weston_Zombie_2006">{{cite web|last= Weston |first=Liz Pulliam |title='Zombie' debt is hard to kill | publisher=MSN Money | url=http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/ManageDebt/ZombieDebtIsHardToKill.aspx |dead-url=yes |access-date= September 18, 2006 |date=July 24, 2006}} deadurl</ref>{{reflist-talk|close}}

Some content is outdated and cites dead urls.

Sections headings could be improved. The controversies section refers to historical issues that were resolved and I am placing some of these in that section.

I welcome suggestions for RS, content, organization, categories, incoming and outgoing wikilinks.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn|talk]]) 16:54, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Page move to "Debt Sales & Acquisitions"

The sources in this article and in the industry in general don't support moving this page to "Debt Sales & Acquisitions". That looks to me like a sanitized name that may be preferred by some, but is not the name commonly used. The leading trade association is DBA, which stood for Debt Buyers Association, until they apparently decided to be known simply as DBA.--Kubigula (talk) 03:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had attempted to replace the deadurl in the 2006 MSN Money article by Liz Pulliam Weston with one published by a law professor but this was a copyright violation apparently and was removed. It would be great to have another legal link to this article.[1]

Some content is outdated and cites dead urls.

Sections headings could be improved. The controversies section refers to historical issues that were resolved and I am placing some of these in that section.
