Yet people find themselves in this situation not due to their own irresponsibility, but due to a combination of factors. These factors include aggressive advertising and marketing, a previously unregulated credit industry, lack of appropriate policies and laws associated with credit, reckless lending, historical disadvantages, desperation to meet basic needs such as food and clothing, and a lack of consumer education.”
