LAWSUIT AGAINST GILMER COUNTY CLERK MOVING FORWARD

(03/31/2011)

Retired Gilmer County Clerk Beverly Marks is being sued over a property transaction in her office. The plaintiff, Textron Financial Corporation, claims the clerk did not index it as the second lender in the property title. Marks responded that she thought the proper procedure was followed. The lawsuit involves failed plans for a housing complex near Glenville that broke ground in 2008. The project involved Glenville State College alumni, which created it to provide low-cost housing for employees of the Federal Correctional Institution. Court documents from the suit showed the primary creditor, New Horizon Home Sales, Inc., defaulted on its loan. Textron Financial Corporation claimed the County Clerk failed to list it as a secondary creditor on the title and that because of the clerk's negligence, it is losing out on the mortgage on which it should be collecting.
