The first vote of the new US Supreme Court justice, Neil Gorsuch, was approved unanimously. It is a customary courtesy for former court ministers to designate the newcomer to write the winning vote in a unanimously approved process. Interestingly, the decision was based on the rules of grammar, with legal rules taking a backseat. The minister maintained: the past participle of a verb refers to the present tense. After all, the past participle functions as an adjective, not as a past tense of a verb. For example, a “broken” car doesn’t work, “fallen” branches block the street and (equally) a “bought” debt is “owed” to the current creditor. There's nothing past about it. Everything is present, wrote the minister.
The case before the Supreme Court Buy Phone Number List concerns overdue debts and collection companies that buy, for a pittance, debts from creditors who have given up on collecting them, to somehow collect money from defaulting debtors and make a good profit. A group of debtors filed a class-action lawsuit against collection company Santander Consumer USA Inc., which had purchased their auto loan debt from CitiFinancial Auto. The plaintiffs alleged that Santander, through its collection methods, violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
This law prohibits collection companies from making their practices harmful to consumers, including calling at dinner time, making threats such as that the debtor will be arrested (this does not happen because the process is civil), that their salaries and bank accounts will be kidnapped (that doesn't happen either), and the debtor will be prosecuted. It also prohibits contacting the debtor's friends and family or contacting him at work (without authorization), etc. This law does not mention it, but there is a practice that helps collection companies to circumvent another law, that of debt statute of limitations. Depending on the state, debts expire in four to seven years.
