FDCPA and the Payday lenders

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
If a bank engages in payday lending through an arrangement with a third party, and the third party collects defaulted debts on behalf of the bank, the third party may become subject to the provisions of the FDCPA. Although the bank itself may not be subject to the FDCPA, it may face reputational risk if the third party violates the FDCPA in collecting the bank's loans. A compliance program should provide for monitoring of collection activities, including collection calls, of any third party on behalf of the bank.

If we could find out who the lenders to the PDLs are we could use that to stop the harassment. These places like Westbury Ventures are at times worse than the collection agencies with there threats. Maybe if they risked losing there funding it would stop. I know that the Bank of Delaware cut off a couple of them because of their tactics.
So does this mean, most PDL's are funded by banks?
