The real question is why do they only sell information to services designed to cause harm.

Returning a vehicle to a bank that someone has stopped paying for isn't exactly harm. If banks were unable to get vehicles back, people with bad credit would have a much harder time getting a vehicle in the first place.

This is a good thing; add "houses" to the list, too. Credit is too freely issued — we live on debt (as a society/world).

I've seen people throw their $20k in negative equity into a new purchase/lease — and just been baffled.

--but I agree: lenders oughta'be able to retrieve their lien'ed properties.

There are A LOT of throwaways talking about repossessing cars in this comment. that's a little weird. Guess I struck a nerve at some company.

Repossessing collateral on a secured loan is not a service designed to cause harm.

Who else would buy it? What use exists for this data that isn't harmful to society?

Repossessing cars isn't societally harmful, quite the opposite in fact.

Discouraging people from using cars at all?

Finding missing people? Finding criminals?

People not returning vehicles to the banks, or commiting fraud by taking up resources in districts they don't live in are technically criminals.

There are, in fact, many crimes
