Wie Jessica Stanic heute im australischen Daily Telegraph unter dem Titel "Library police on the prowl" berichtet, setzen immer mehr Universitäten professionelle Schuldeneintreiber ein, um die Außenstände bei den Mahngebühren zu verringern:
"Universities are using debt collectors to chase overdue library fines as documents show late fees are turning into a bonus revenue stream. An investigation of overdue fees reveals one university student racked up a $4329 debt, including 'lost book charges', last year. More than 40,000 students had outstanding fines as of June 30, with Sydney University having the most fines issued at $607,497 for the financial year".
