Accountability on both sides of the fence would help. One side, some of them, needs to be straight shooters if they even know how to do this and the other side has to get some knowledge before jumping in and buying with both feet before they judge the other side.
In 30 years I have just as many beefs with collectors habits and judgement as I do with the dealer side. Go figure.

Sure...it works real well for Wall Street... the Banking industry... the Insurance industry... and of course, all liscensed Auto Mechanics are above board and above reproach... let us not forget Lawyers... none of them are shady... and then there's Real Estate agents... no shadiness there... heck, the list is endless... (edited to add Accountants... can't forget them )
Regulation... that is always the answer... cleans up everything all nice and tidy...
So let's see how this will work...

expand it to salespeople - anyone who sells anything, should be bonded, licensed with yearly fees and required 40 hours continuing education of approved material - which can only be completed at workshops that typically cost $100+/hr

What exactly does this mean? "and then there's Real Estate agents... no shadiness there." What's your beef with RE agents?
And by the way, it should be --then there are, not is.
