Heard on NPR just now.
This should go over well.
"Example of a Company with Debt Collection Ties: The Seattle Times article from 2018 describes Allied Wallet, a business that processed payments for an aggressive debt collector, and mentions its executives donating to Republican candidates and committees after Trump's inauguration. While this is not a direct contribution from a debt collection company to Trump, it demonstrates a connection between the industry and political donations."
