Poor collection record prompts debate on private collection help
Federal debtors yield low returns in court judgments. Over four years the Justice Department won 383 million dollars in bad debt, but collected only 163.2 million, a 42 percent rate. Eight year trend mirrors this, with one spike in 1965 after prior inquiries. Officials cite growing criminal caseloads as a reason for weak efforts. Some urge private attorneys or agencies to sharpen collections at lower costs.
