On the Job Trainee Jennifer Marika Granger believes she has been treated unfairly by the management of the Courts Furniture Store.

Granger complained that two weeks before Christmas, last year, her four-piece living room set was repossessed but eventually, when she got some money, she was trying to clear her monthly installments. She said her set was sold without her knowledge.

“How could they do that to me?” she asked.

The living room set cost $9,961.21 and her monthly installments were $831 for two years.

The single mother, who works as a clerical assistant at the Marac Baptist Primary School, said she was not paid as an OJT trainee for three months and as a result was unable to pay her monthly installments.

She said she informed all her creditors, including the furniture store of her situation and they understood.

She said when she eventually received her salary in the first week of January, she went to pay the furniture store only to be told the living room set was sold.

When contacted, Cindy Ghatt, director of Marketing and Service at Courts Furniture Store, said Granger did not bring her account up to date. “Nothing can be done at this time,” she said.

Ghatt confirmed that the living room set had been sold.
