"How about shock-collars for credit card accounts?" You just gave me a great idea for an invention! You know those ankle bracelets they put on parollees? The ones that have GPS trackers that let their parole officers track them by satellite over the internet day and night? How about making wearing one of those a condition of a payday loan? Incorporating your "shock collar" idea of course! If the borrower wasn't at work, you'd know right away, and could activate the shock bracelet, which would be disabled by the borrower calling in and explaining to your satisfaction why he wasn't at work! MUCH more security in lending! There's going to be a LOT more deadbeats soon. Need new ways to keep up with them.
