Former Rend Lake Bank Official Disputes Lawsuit
Estel Hoffard, former executive vice president of Rend Lake Bank in Christopher, says he has paid $4,827.28 toward three notes totaling $40,945.89, disputing a Franklin County circuit court suit filed Feb. 23 by the bank demanding full payment and seizure of Kids Klothes inventory. He plans to complete the balance within 60 days after a Wednesday hearing, while the bank seeks merchandise and full repayment on notes dating from 1980 to 1981. Hoffard says a verbal agreement to pay $500 monthly was rejected by the bank, and he notes prior settlements and extensions challenged by the bank. He and Debra Hoffard opened Kids Klothes at 602 Sylvia in June 1980.
