See Mr. Jones comment below. He hits the nail on the head.

Yes. It consist of debt packages sold on the open market. RIP bids for these along with the for profit debt collectors. Perfect description of the process.
Stan Blazyk commented on Rip Currents and minor flooding expected this weekend, but heat may be the big story locally
Definitely....no sense risking sunstroke :)
