Debt Collection, The Sequel

Debt collection is a growth industry, in Oregon and across the country.

Sunday's New York Times provided a fascinating look at the business behind the lawsuits—the process of buying, often at pennies or less on the dollar, old debts.

Willamette Week’s reporting has real-life impact that changes laws, forces action by civic leaders, and drives compromised politicians from public office.
