They declare bankruptcy and then they sell these loan portfolios or the servicing rights to the loans, often in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings. If you allow that to happen, then you have an incentive for these companies to use the bankruptcy proceeding as a way of cleaning up their loans. So they go into bankruptcy, they use the bankruptcy proceeding to sell them off to somebody, but the victim has no recourse. We are saying if it goes in as a predatory fraudulent loan, the person who has been victimized ought not to lose his remedy because they can wash it through the bankruptcy proceeding.
