Episode Notes

Ever open a federal debt collection letter and wonder why the Bureau of the Fiscal Service is contacting you when your debt started with another federal agency? It can seem like the debt suddenly changed hands. But there is a much bigger story behind how it got there. Today, we’re going back to 1996 to look at the law that helped reshape federal debt collection and the system that developed from it. I’m joined by an advocate who works with people navigating federal non-tax debt. Thanks for being here.
