Virginia Beach, VA
Jordan, a veteran relying solely on his pension, faced significant financial challenges. His debts included medical bills and credit card expenses for his family’s monthly needs. At the time of his enrollment with MDL, he was dealing with court-ordered garnishments that had been previously overlooked.
MDL’s Intervention
The MDL team promptly engaged with all relevant parties, including the original creditor and opposing counsel, to address Jordan’s outstanding balance of $16,000. The proposed garnishment would have deducted 25% from his income, significantly higher than the national average of 9%.
Our attorneys at MDL effectively negotiated to prevent the garnishment on Jordan’s income. They maintained direct communication with him throughout the process, providing updates and gathering necessary information to secure the best possible outcome.
Outcome
Thanks to MDL’s efforts, Jordan’s wages were protected from garnishment. An agreement was reached with the creditor for a manageable payment plan, and the outstanding debt was reduced by 50%.
Jordan happily signed the settlement agreement on August 18, 2023.
Jordan was thrilled with the outcome, as the garnishment was avoided and his debt was settled for half of the original amount. MDL was proud to save him $400 a month, a significant relief given his limited income. Jordan remains confident in the MDL process and trusts our attorneys to handle his other debts swiftly and successfully.
