Dateline NBC Episode on Debt Collectors

March 29th, 2009

Dateline NBC aired a very interesting episode on it’s Friday edition of the show entitled “Inside the Financial Fiasco”. Friday’s episode pertained to the tactics and practices of the debt collection industry. Dateline NBC conducted some undercover investigations of debt collectors. I found the tactics of these debt collectors to be beyond abusive and harassing. In my opinion, the tactics used by the debt collectors portrayed in this episode were fraudulent and criminal. This episode should be a wake up call to consumer groups, regulators, and legislators that more regulations and stiffer penalties need to be adopted.

I have posted a clip from the Dateline episode below.
