Well that is the general issue with regard to the risk of buying these portfolios of debt. Like if you or I were to be served with papers today we call a lawyer or generally deal with the problem. Like CHL says above though, these people basically respond to extortion and not a lot else. So while the tactics shown are crazy and outside the law, that's basically the only way to get paid if you own the debts.
