It's "garnisheed" rather than "garnished", which is what you do when you put parsley on your food. < If their wages are being garnished, in Virginia there is a garnishment "return day"> I'm not being picky. I was just amused at garnishing their debts. I know you know the difference and that it's a typo/slip.

On your frustration with people who are in a reasonable position, most people are hopelessly innumerate and legally terrified and subject to learned helplessness.

There's a psychological thing called load shedding - when mental strain is too much, people just shove stuff off, whatever the cost.

What seems trivially simple and obvious to you is too much for most people to deal with.

I'm not surprised that people just give up. Plus there's a trust aspect. Doing nothing is always an easy option too, though it's often an expensive one. We procrastinators like that default setting.
