LAWYERS DON'T NEED NEW TOOLS TO COLLECT DEBT

GUEST COMMENTARY

BY TERRY LAWSON Special to The Star

"I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering it all of the time"   Yogi Berra
:     Congress is considering a bill that has been titled a “technical clarification" for the practice
of law.  

Sounds quite innocent and hundrum, doesn't it?  But the true aim of the bill is much
worse. It intends to shield, debt collection lawyers from the very laws that outlaw unfair
debt collection practices.

This bill, called the Practice of Law Technical Clarification Act 2017 is not what it sounds
like. It is a blatant attempt to give a free pass to debt collectors who happen to be lawyers.
