LAWSUITS

Janis K. Nussman, as trustee of the Janis K. Nussman Revocable Living Trust, is suing John Pickett, Gillespie, for $9,965.27, plus attorney fees and court costs, claiming the defendant owes the judgment after defaulting on a contract-for-deed agreement.  According to the suit, Pickett entered into a contract-for-deed agreement on July 15, 2010, for the purchase of real estate located in the 600 block of South Macoupin Street in Gillespie. The contract called for 180 monthly payments of $510.47 each. From December 2016 through June this year, however, Pickett allegedly failed to make full monthly payments on the contract. Pickett later relinquished the property on July 14, according to the suit. The plaintiff claims Pickett owes $11,552.35 for missed payments, late fees, attorney fees and court costs from the time he retained the property, plus $18,412.92 for alleged damages to the property and replacement cost for items and fixtures allegedly removed from the home.

Pride Cleaning and Restoration, Inc., St. Louis, is suing Marsha Bridges, Mount Olive, for $23,818.63, claiming Bridges unlawfully converted an insurance check intended to pay the plaintiff for her own use.  The four-count lawsuit alleges breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion of an instrument and common law conversion. According to the suit, a fire occurred at Bridges’ mobile home in the 600 block of East Walnut Street in Gillespie on Feb. 24, 2016. On March 10, 2016, Bridges allegedly entered into a contract with Pride Cleaning and Restoration, pledging to direct her insurance company, State Farm Insurance, to pay the claim directly to the plaintiff. The suit claims the plaintiff took Bridges’ personal property and professionally cleaned all personal property not declared a total loss by State Farm. The plaintiff allegedly submitted an invoice on April 13 to both State Farm and Bridges. State Farm subsequently sent a check made payable to Pride Cleaning and Restoration, Inc. to Bridges in September 2016. The suit alleges that instead of forwarding the check to the plaintiff, Bridges directed the insurance company to reissue the claim with a check made payable to her. The plaintiff claims Bridges has since refused demands for payment. The suit seeks a judgment of $18,608.25 for the original contract, plus $5,210.38 late fees of two percent per month and $2,200 in attorney fees and court costs. Additionally, the suit seeks a court order for late fees of two percent per month from the date of judgment until the time the judgment is paid in full.
