Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 30, 2019
Northstar Education Finance, Inc. D/B/A Total Higher Education (T.H.E.) vs. Samuel L. Scroggie
Samuel L. Scroggie appealed a judgment awarding damages to Northstar Education Finance, Inc. (NEF) for defaulted student loans, challenging evidentiary rulings, NEF's standing, and the award of attorney fees. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no abuse of discretion in admitting NEF's business records and concluding NEF had standing to sue. The court also granted NEF's motion for appellate attorney fees and remanded for a determination of that amount.
