Comment on Couple demands $200,000 from Putnam contractor paid $40,000 to build wells by Jason R Heyen

Nicholas and Lori Harris, of Boise, Idaho, sued Jason R. Heyen on June 2 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Poughkeepsie, objecting to his plan to discharge his debts. The Harrises’ attorney, Dawn Kirby, argued that Heyen may not use bankruptcy to discharge his debts because he obtained their money by making statements with intent to deceive, his actions were fraudulent, and his conduct was willful and malicious. NOTE: Heyen’s attorney, Linda M. Tirelli, White Plains, argued in a dismissal motion that the complaint is insufficiently specific to support a charge of fraud for which relief may be granted.
