You're right, JP. Having spent 45 years in loss mitigation, asset management and paralegal debt collection I can tell you that the 1st rule of debt collection is not how much is owed, its how much can you get? First the plaintiff (in this case the FCC) has to get a judgment against the defendant to prove in court that the debt is legally owed. The defendant has to be served with a subpoena (good luck finding them) . If they successfully serve them they probably won't show up in court . The FCC can then get a default judgment which will probably be worthless because the defendants are long gone. It makes zero sense to spend the money to collect on this debt. But then again , it IS the Federal government so.........
