Well you seem to know more about why people do what they do than I do. But as "everyone" knows I simply must be behind.
Are you aware that I am not the thread starter? You're talking with two different people.
I appeal to your intelligence: please consider that any action has more than one aspect, more than black and white.
Your assumption concerning my intention for example is straight wrong - as I stated in my very first reply. Where I also agreed with you. I didn't write to be "right" or "wrong", I interact to get new experiences. As I'm only getting shut down as "wrong" I will stop trying that here (that's my perception about your intention. I could be wrong).
I apologize for wasting your time and won't interact further.
Hahahaha
No, the problem is people not reading the contracts they sign.
You're asking for idealism, assuming that we can prevent scumbags - that's not possible, and simply leads people to naively signing anything, and ending up like this story.
Trust, but verify.
Do you think contract lawyers exist solely to create docs? Or maybe to take the time to ensure contracts their clients sign achieve the intent of their clients?
Yes, scummy lender does scummy things, but it was right there in the contract - no one held a gun to her head to sign it. She voluntarily signed it without understanding it.
But maybe she thought she understood it
