Make it illegal to sell your debt to another business without your approval in writing.

Created by W.B. on November 11, 2013

I, like most of the US, have debts. And it is really confusing for me when the lender I'm working with sells my debt to another company. Then all of a sudden I have a loan with a new company that I've never heard of and now I owe them money.

Now, I am stuck in a situation where two people think I owe them money when in all actuality it's for the same loan that they sold to each other. How is this fair for anyone? I didn't sign a promissory note to anyone except my original lender, so why am I paying all these other people?

So, I purpose the following: Make it illegal for a financial instution to sell your debt to another business. Period. No if's, and's or but's.
