United Credit Plan of New Orleans, Inc. v. Franklin

YARRUT, Judge.

Plaintiff sued Mr. and Mrs. Maude Franklin for the balance due on a promissory note. The note was made payable to Scott Fence and Insulation Co., Inc. and had been purchased by Plaintiff. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin filed a third-party demand against Scott Fence and Insulation Co., Inc., alleging that their signatures on the note in the amount of $622.80 had been fraudulently obtained as they were told that the insulation work for which the note was given would cost no more than $445.00. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin paid $445.00 but refused to make any further payments on the note.
