1. Get loan

2. Don't pay it back

3. Ask debt collector friend to buy debt

4. Pay him off

Why would this not work?

They are sold in parcels. There isn't like a list of debtors in default the bank maintains that you can go pick from. It's more like here's 1,287 loans defaulted on, worth a total of $4,342,230 that you can bid on.
Debt collectors usually do not have the ability to target specific people's debt in the debt packages that they buy.
You still have a history of non payment and debt being sent to collections on your credit report.
debt collector friend....ha
