Conflicting accounts of the debt collecting industry on ABC News

. . . .which may actually be proof that ABC has some "fairness and balance", but I do wonder if Nightline's Brian_Ross saw John_Stossel's 20/20 piece coming on the societal benefits of debt collectors and decided to counter it with a hit-piece to be aired following the local news. . .

Of course if people made a half-effort to budget and pay their bills on time, we wouldn't need to worry our silly little heads about such issues.
