Bingo!
But I'd argue that there are people who would like to enter this sector, despite its poor reputation, because we'd like to actually serve our clientele while making a reasonable profit in a highly transparent manner.
- netcan 12y agoPossibly, but I don't think that this is a case where regulation is what screwed everything up. I think public perception plays just as big a role. Deregulation would improve competition but will also introduce other problems. Incidentally I don't think it's a bad idea for government or nongovernmental to be allowed to offer these services in a deregulated market.

And I completely agree that NGOs and/or government agencies should be able to offer these services -- as long as the government agencies don't get any special privileges, like being able to automatically garnish tax returns of loan recipients who default, for example. That would just be taking advantage of their government powers to eliminate the competition.
