United States v. Ashcraft

Defendant appealed the district court's order denying her objection to the garnishment of her disability payments. The court concluded that defendant's disability payments were "earnings" within the meaning of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. 1673(a), and were subject to the Act's limitations on garnishment. Accordingly, the court reversed the district court's judgment holding otherwise. View "United States v. Ashcraft" on Justia Law
