They weren't debt collectors -- see my repo man posting.

Oranges and apples, doesn't matter what name they are they are both fruits.

Repo man collects the car which is part of the debt, collecting the debt , debt collectors.

That's the same type of thinking that has made the Boston Globe one of the best fiction publications in the country.

Fortunately, the LAW doesn't agree with you.

sure they're not Debt Collectors in the traditional sense of what we think of as debt collectors. ( Person working for a collection agency or working in a collections department in a cubicle) But in a technical sense yes they are.

The debt is the car and they are collecting on the debt. So technically they are Debt Collectors.

When you think of Chicago Cub, you think of a player but the third base coach is technially a Cub.

A debt collector is a person who collects on a debt.
