Debtor's prison.
post=143936not really, if they're over the due date, then what else are the crediters supposed to do? they can't just let them off
While the article itself is pretty stupid, I do have to comment however that setting a court date over 250 dollars is pretty fucked!!!

Debtor's prison.
i think you can but it depends what the offence is
usually they just decide on a judgement whether or not you're there(on if you owe them money/the crediters are out of order). then, if you still don't pay you'd be called into court again, and if you don't show up they can issue an arrest warrent which can send you to jail.

post=143866hmm that doesn't say that they're throwing people in jail for not paying debts, it says they 'use the courts to collect,' which probably means getting bailiffs in to try and get the money - which is completely legal and happens all the time. the worst they can do legally is name someone bankrupt.
You're right. However;
The laws allowing for the arrest of someone for an unpaid debt are not new.
What is new is the rise of well-funded, aggressive and centralized collection firms, in many cases run by attorneys, that buy up unpaid debt and use the courts to collect.
There's nothing at least a little messed up about this? Especially in the middle of a recession? The quintessential American problem is living beyond your means and borrowing what you can't pay, but is the solution to this is to throw everyone in jail?
i don't really know how it works in America, but for some debts like non-payments of t.v licenses you can legitimately be put into jail...
but if you're right, and they are throwing people in just for not paying debts, i completely agree - that is really awful!

post=143863um for a while, your crediter can take you to court.
Since when does incurring debts warrant a court hearing?
