If it was still 2015 sure. But, this isn't really an accepted thing to do anymore, and I would of thought they would of known that they wouldn't be able to shift this on if the loan was defaulted. I know they state that it was defaulted on a few years ago, but the only thing that matters is that they are trying to sell it now.
What should be done with the account then? Can you suggest an alternative which doesn't promote account selling and also gives seller some coverage over his loss? I don't encourage account sells either.
At the very least the account being sold needs to be revealed to the public so that negative feedback can be left for the defaulted loan. Because, at the end of the day even if an account changes hands legitimate or not, they need to be left trust according to their history.
True.Like I said if revealing in public is a concern then the account should be revealed to a DT member who will leave a neutral/negative trust as per his choice.
