JALA gets wrongfully garnished wages returned to local grandmother
“Lorraine,” a part-time caregiver of her grandchild, was already struggling to pay her bills each month when her wages started being wrongfully garnished for an alleged debt of $11,762.49. In addition to her regular expenses, she had undergone five eye surgeries, making her financial situation more burdensome. Because some of her wages were being withheld, Lorraine couldn't pay her rent and bills, nor keep food on the table without borrowing money.
