This is really a county shakedown... I don't like it when Governments illegally shake people down for money, breaking their own laws to do so.

It's almost never a good idea to provide incentives for government agencies to become profit centers.

100% spot on. This is the problem. The Government already discharged the debt; having another arm of the Government continue to pursue is completely wrong and illegal.
