It appears, though, that the change coming in 2010 won't really do enough; maybe our new Congress can do better.<BR/><BR/>JacobLowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558253513796745662.post-35862020795697582132009-01-19T19:27:00.000-05:002009-01-19T19:27:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for this post.

Losing a limb is an incentive to pay back. Creditors are not often upfront with the reprucussions and the penalty could be the ability not to get a job or buy a house. In come cases, creditors are worse then loan sharks. I whole heartedly agree!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
