I suspect these guys are not the only debt collectors operating this way, but the whole thing is shameful. Talk about an industry crying out for more stringent regulation.

Is it more shameful than the colleges and universities that push students to taking out these loans (calling them "financial aid") knowing full well what waits them on the other side?

No way to discharge these loans besides leaving the country and going native elsewhere, or paying them off entirely. Essentially, if your gamble doesn't pay off, you get a life long debilitating STD known as student loans.

More stringent regulation from the very people that are encouraging it? How does that work exactly?

Crying out for a metaphorical noose is more like it.
