Hearing on Loan Judgment Starts In Superior Court
The local manager for Selected Investments Corp testified that loan applicants must buy investment certificates before loan approval. Judge Robert S. Landers heard arguments to set aside a prior default judgment foreclosing a mortgage on Mrs. Exma Jean Sawyer at 105 E. Arlington Drive. Sawyer’s lawyers accuse usurious rates and argue misapplication of payments. Capshaw claimed $500 paid by Sawyer was tied to buying a $2,324 certificate and that payments covered interest and insurance instead of reducing principal.
