Post Wanting tough laws against abusive collectors?

In our modern world, people engage in a variety of transactions.

Whether in pursuance of business or for everyday survival, a thing with these transactions greatly involved the endeavor of debt.

It is a common trend nowadays that people obtain merchandise by credit.

In this context, debt had serious implications in reference to creating liability and for lawsuits.

Irresponsible handling of obtaining debt would lead you to a more complex situation and even pave a way to insolvency.

To avoid abuse, the government have created laws regulating these areas.

However, from time immemorial, several complaints of abuse in the process of collecting the debt have flooded our courts.

These abuses may come from one or a combination of the following causes:
• unfair practices
• hidden charges
• false statements
• give false credit information about a debtor to anyone

Aside from the foregoing, it cannot be discounted the fact that many consumers complained for receiving harassing collection phone calls from collectors who have called in the middle of the night.

With these concerns, one may ask, do tough government laws and regulation offer sufficient protection to people against abusive debt collectors?

To my mind, there is wanting of tough laws against abusive collector.

Curious, what about financial institutions that allow someone to receive credit when their "normal" range should be maxed out? For example, if someone has a monthly income of $4k; has a mortgage payment of $725, car loan at $400, credit card #1 payment is $275, student loans $300 and a personal loan at $250, would it seem reasonable that three other credit card companies would extend lines of credit to this person @ $7500, $5000 and $5000? Or could this potentially fall under a predatory lender. They lend the money knowing the consumer is obviously at a minimum of 50% of their pay without taking "normal" cost of living expenses.....just wondering what your professional opinion on this is. Thanks.
