A copy of the lawsuit stated that both companies had business transactions between them and “agreed upon the resulting balance due.” However, it accused EF Hutton of not paying what it owed.
Representatives of Creative Circle stated that EF Hutton failed to honor an agreement to pay $28,359.58 worth of services rendered, according to court documents. They added that the Springfield company knowingly accepted and received those services without making payment and “have been unjustly enriched.”
“The Plaintiff tendered a statement of the balance due to the defendants and the defendant did not object to the statement,” the lawsuit said, which asked Hutn Inc., formally known as EF Hutton America, to pay back the agreed amount with interest and other relief deemed just and equitable by the court.
The judgment filed on Monday ordered EF Hutton to pay the amount with: “An interest at the rate of 5 percent per annum from July 16, 2018 until paid, and court cost incurred herein.” It also stated that the company “having been duly summoned and failed to appear, answer or otherwise plead in response to (the plaintiff’s) complaint are in default.”
