Other questionable transactions appeared in previous years. Beginning in August, Low sometimes listed OSU as the billing address and her home as the shipping address. Many of the questionable transactions on Low's university credit card began about nine months after she and her husband emerged from personal bankruptcy, records show. The couple filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in June 2008, listing $158,732 in debt. More than $18,000 of that debt was to credit card companies, bankruptcy records show. Other debtors included payday loan services, hospitals and lenders who provided money for various vehicles and their mobile home. The bankruptcy closed in December 2008. In spring 2008, Low's wages were garnished from OSU by a payday loan company that had a court judgment against her for $1,005. OSU officials continued to allow Low to use her university credit card even as her wages were being garnished from the university. Since discovering Low's spending spree, OSU officials have held training sessions to make sure employees understand how to use them properly.
