None of the new members will read this section and see what you are trying to say,sadly, but also it is reckless from buyer not to check the account for active loans.
Every  loan provider is making loan requests public, and quotes them for future reference so that it cant be deleted or denied later on, and when you are buying an account,
you should always also use escrow, so that you can cancel purchase in case of problems.

But how can someone buy an account which is already involved in a loan, maybe not as a collateral but anyone would check about the account before buying it, it's not that everyone's that stupid to just come and say, "I wanna buy it, take yo 0.2 and gimme ya acc."

It's surprising, but there are people "smart" enough to make such dumb purchases; their loss.

I found a case where a person asked for a loan of 0.1 BTC without collateral and get it without any problem after that he sold his account for 0.2 BTC to someone and when the time come to repay the loan lender ask him to repay it and found that he forget everything about the loan. His reply was which loan.
I'm taking about this account -https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=295199

He made a auction thread on 21 April - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-sr-member-account-with-positive-trust-1033708
Asked for a loan here on 24 April -
And sold his account before 27 April(Before Repayment Date) -

So, In my opinion a feedback is very important if you are lending someone without collateral to protect your funds and also don't forget to check the history and trust feedback of an account if you are going to buy it.
