"Zombie Debt: How Collectors Trick Consumers into Reviving Dead Debts"

"In 2016, a debt collector, Rausch Sturm, sued for the remaining debt and successfully garnished 19 cents from her checking account before dropping the lawsuit when she challenged it."

What a scam. The everything scam economy.

"Efforts to collect on old debts often focus on getting consumers to reset the statute of limitations through a variety of means, including sending them credit cards that let them pay off their old debts or by allowing them to make a small payment to halt debt collection calls."

If you're in debt, you better know about this scam.

"Consumers just don’t know the ins and outs of state and federal debt-collection laws and probably will not understand the consequences in the fine print of making a payment that can revive an old debt"

I wish I could say this is unbelievable, but unfortunately it's very believable. Just another scam in the scam economy.
