..., that of "repossession". Such "men" re-claim property that a debtor cannot make the payments on, on the behalf of the lender. They're about eh closest thing in the present day to a historical tax collector.
They often arrive in the middle of the night and tow the car (its usually cars they deal with) right out of the car park (or parking lot to us on this side of the ponds). They have a tendency of being beaten, stabbed, and shot at... or worse.
