Better Off Deadbeat: Craig Cunningham has a simple solution for getting bill collectors off his back. He sues them. [Print version]

Up until now, everything was about making easy money for Cunningham. Now, it's about justice—or at least what he sees as justice. "When you or I make a mistake, they say, 'Hey, tough nuts, be smarter next time, you know, bad luck, didn't work out for ya," he says. "When the fat cats on Wall Street make a mistake, they say, 'Oh, national emergency! We've got to bail these guys out."

Mod note: fixed the link, but yeah, this is pretty old, and we've discussed it in the past; will go ahead and delete.
