If my adult daughter won her SSDI case but has several debts that have been sent to collections, how can she repay so they don’t garnish her check?

She is mentally impaired and I have control of her funds but I’m afraid if she or I call this will open the window in incessant phone calls to pay in full. I’d like her to clear this up without having to pay all of the late fees and over the limit fees.

The best way to deal with the debt of your impaired daughter where you seemingly have some power of attorney over her finances is for you to consult with an attorney who practices in the area of consumer law and see if he or she can negotiate a structured settlement in full payable all at once or over time that your daughter can afford to pay.
