Bank seeks repayment of $200K in loans
A bank has filed suit against the Jefferson County corporation that it claims failed to repay more than $200,000 worth of loans.
Wells Fargo Bank claims its successor, Wachovia, loaned $50,447.12 to defendant Statewide Consolidated Community Development Corp. on July 28, 1999.
Again, on Feb. 10, 2006, Wachovia loaned Statewide $26,680 and issued the company another promissory note on May 16, 2005, worth $116,790, according to the complaint filed Aug. 8 in Jefferson County District Court.
On June 24, 2002, Wachovia loaned Statewide $34,200; Statewide received a $60,000 from Wachovia on Aug. 21, 2003; and the bank issued a $67,000 promissory note on May 21, 2002, the suit states. Finally, on April 26, 2006, Wachovia issued a note for $57,600, the complaint says.
However, Statewide has failed to repay the full value of the notes, even though the bank has demanded payment, Wells Fargo claims.
"By reason of the above-described notes, Defendant was indebted to plaintiff as of July 24, 2012, in the total amount of $244,173.66," the suit states.
In addition to the money it claims it is owed, Wells Fargo is seeking attorney's fees of no less than $15,000, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and other relief the court deems just.
Marc P. Henry of Henry and Fuller in Beaumont will be representing it.
