Bill Bartmann is a hero. I recently met him at a dinner speech and his story was extremely inspirational. I had no idea that this famous debt collections entrepreneur began his professional life as a bankruptcy attorney. He's a down to earth, real guy -- not some ivory-tower boardroom dweller.

God bless him for trying to reform his own industry -- something which is LONG overdue.

Wisdom, there are federal laws which govern what collectors can do or say when they're trying to collect a debt. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (15 U.S.C. 1692) prohibits (for example) false, misleading or abusive tactics by a collector to collect a debt.
