State High Court To Hear Cases On Debt Protection
The West Virginia Supreme Court will hear a set of four cases next month seeking to reform how creditors recover overdue payments, with emphasis on protections for the poor. One Cabell County case involves Tabitha Moberly who argues she was not informed of an exemption for legal services in Huntington. The suit, filed Dec. 7 by the West Virginia Legal Services Plan, stems from a 1982 bank suit over a credit card debt, a judgment for $688, and subsequent garnishment after Moberly’s hospitalization and nursing home stay.
