The North Carolina Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision, which found that the defendants, Sandra Broome-Edwards and Donald Blair, violated the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act (UDPA) by executing a self-help eviction against the plaintiff, Henry Myers. After multiple eviction actions were dismissed (including one with prejudice), the defendants locked Mr. Myers out of his home and disposed of his belongings, actions the court deemed illegal without judicial process.
The Longphres loaned KT Financial $330,000 by two separate promissory notes with 30% interest and specified “[a]ll accrued interest and unpaid principal” was due one year after the notes were executed. The notes also allowed the Longphres to collect attorney's fees pursuant toN.C.G.S. § 6-21.2if KT Financial defaulted.
