Terrible Story Of Man Who Set Himself On Fire Over Collection Calls

The Consumerist recently ran a story on this gentleman who set himself on fire in a rent-a-center store because he said he had received too many late notices and collection calls.

Obviously there are serious issues involved with this man but Congress recognized when it passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act that abusive collection tactics can break up marriages and have a terrible effect on consumers.
