why is this post getting downvoted? clearly these devices work, otherwise lenders won't be using them. if the devices are banned/never existed, lenders will either not lend in risky cases they would have otherwise lent or charge higher interest rates.

People seem to take offense with being called “deadbeats”.

I think though the term is warranted. It is despicable to enter an agreement to lease a car from a lender and then not make payments.

It's nothing compared to the despicable ways "car dealerships" (really finance scams) steal from poor people.

Or how the National Association of Mortgage Financers or whatever it's called defaulted in their mortgage.

Or how companies declare bankruptcy.

Default is a part of finance. Good faith bankruptcy is not ethically challenged. Both parties to a contract are responsible for counterparty risk.
