Credit Investment Thesis

I have a credit summer analyst interview coming up soon and was wondering if anyone can share old or sample theses on debt/distressed/credit investments.

There's obviously a lot I can find on equity online but can't seem to be able to find any on credit.

Would be incredibly helpful for my preparation process!

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
