Predatory tactics on both ends, my friend. See the subprime mortgage problem in the US.
Like I implied: Yakuza = violent means to an end, US Loans = non violent means to a same end within the respective field.
I am not implying banks do the same as the Yakuza regarding "protection" and bribery/extortion, though that does happen in the US, just on a different level (can't threaten politicians so easily with baseball bats). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Nader#Automobile_safety_activism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Nader#Automobile_safety_a... about how an attempt was made to blackmail Nader.

Also, consumer credit holders doesn't get to repossess your home, only your mortgage lender does that.
