Oh, okay. Well, these things may be connected, but aren't necessarily. For example, there's absolutely no reason to think that the list of people described in the bit aren't just being sued for old credit card debt (seems statistically likely to me given what I've read about debt rates in the past).
I'd say that predatory lending is a totally separate industry than debt buying, even though they're linked. The regulations needed in the former sphere are unrelated to whatever regulations you think should be imposed on the latter.
