A powerful story from one man who refused to be bullied to one of the devious debt collectors:
Millions Are Hounded for Debt They Don’t Owe. One Victim Fought Back, With a Vengeance
Article by Zeke Faux, Bloomberg Business week.MUSINGS BY DIANE:
If you read the article above you will see it took one man years to expose this on-going conspiracy of mass fraud on our friends, relatives, and, perhaps, ourselves. Tucker (the founder of this scam) is a sorry human being. He whines that he is tired of being attacked, yet he never takes ownership that he caused this mess. He hurt thousands of others who did not have the energy to do what Therrien did for the rest of us. We should all send our thanks to Andrew Therrien for looking out for us and bringing a few bad guys to justice.

Before signing up with a debt management or debt settlement company, understand what debts are covered, what fees you may pay, whether creditors can still sue or garnish wages, and whether forgiven debt could create tax problems. For some people, bankruptcy may provide a faster, more complete fresh start and a chance to rebuild.
