19. Well, the thing these vultures take advantage of
is the fact that they can get a default judgment in most cases.

Sure, if someone shows up in court and points out that this debt is out of statute, the judge dismisses the case, but on the other hand when people do not contest the suit, the judge rules for the vulture, by default.

They make a lot of money this way.

Google the phrase "zombie debt" for more info. It's sickening, but so typical of what this country has become.
