Matthews v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided January 26, 2016No. A15A1823PublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

McFadden, Judge.

This appeal challenges the trial court’s admission of business records at a bench trial. Because the trial court did not abuse his discretion in admitting the records, we affirm.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. filed suit for breach of a promissory note against Dianne C. Matthews a/k/a Dianne Koulouvaris. Matthews originally executed the note in favor of Wachovia Bank, which later merged with Wells Fargo. Matthews failed to timely answer the complaint. The trial court entered default on the issue of Matthews’s liability and held a nonjury trial solely on the issue of damages.
