I first became interested in this topic when I read about a court case forcing JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America to update borrowers’ credit reports to reflect that the debts were extinguished through bankruptcy. The Legal Aid Justice Center in Charlottesville has a Zombie Debt Defense initiative. I spoke to one of their attorney's, Brenda Castaneda, and her client Lisa who has struggled with recurring debt sold and bought by different debt collectors also known as "zombie debt."
If anything, I hope to inspire activism against this insidious business. Let this This American Life segment be your inspiration!
