Dynamic Accident Lawyers: Shaffer & Associates Wage Garnishment Class Action Settlement

Gavel and Money

GFS Inc. d/b/a Shaffer & Associates has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it improperly prepared, filed and handled garnishments and sequestrations in violation of Missouri law. Shaffer has agreed to pay a total of $190,000 to settle the wage garnishment class action lawsuit.

If you are a Missouri resident whose wages or accounts were garnished or sequestered by Shaffer between Oct. 20, 2009 and Oct. 20, 2014, you may be eligible for payment from this class action settlement.

This account garnishment settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit that alleges Shaffer violated Missouri law by preparing, filing and handling garnishments and sequestrations and by taking a percentage of garnishments and sequestrations without using the services of a licensed Missouri attorney.

Shaffer denies the allegations and maintains that it did not violate Missouri law. However, it has agreed to settle the account garnishment class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty associated with ongoing litigation.

Class Members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Shaffer class action settlement must do so no later than Feb. 22, 2016.
