A comment on Credit Card Debt Collection. Parent comment
People would tell you why, and as a result, you might be able to respond with a reason, or, fix the perceived deficiency.
Now everyone is afraid of being sued, and all sorts of court cases in the last decade or two, validate that fear.
So now no one tells, and therefore, no one knows why.
And so, you never get a chance to explain, or give context, or even prove a mark against you is in error.
Sometimes, social justice solutions can backfire.
