Interesting but how is this any different from people who write hot checks serving a few days in jail?

I don't know, writing a bad a check and using a credit card with no intention of paying it are the same in eyes.

There's bouncing a check and there's an intentionally bad check. One's a mistake and you pay a fee to your bank, the business, etc. One's fraud and possibly theft of services.

Not paying your credit card is more of a violation of contract and not paying most debts is a civil matter, not a criminal one.

There's a system for it, our jails aren't it.

Yep, but didn't these people end up in jail because they didn't appear in court?

The article explains pretty easily how it's an abuse of the system, and how low the level of proof is on the debt collection company's part. There are other articles out there if you want to know more.

I have clients that try and commit fraud all of the time. They ok things when they know damn well they aren't going to pay for it. I am happy to see them go to jail. Good riddance.
