Moore v. Branch
ARCHIVE 001 · WAYNE COUNTY PROCEEDING
Greg has filed a separate lawsuit against Stacie Branch personally. It concerns the same events at the center of Interstate Credit Union’s case against him, but asks Branch to answer for her own alleged conduct. Greg alleges that her interest in buying his riverfront home, and his decision not to sell, helped drive the treatment that followed.

Case overview
State Court of Wayne County, Georgia · STCV2026000180. Gregory P. Moore II brought the action against Stacie Branch, individually. He filed the complaint on October 22, 2026, at 8:44 p.m. The clerk accepted it on October 23. The summons was issued and personal service was requested on October 23. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office return confirms that Deputy Sheriff personally served Stacie Branch with the summons and complaint on October 26, 2026.
Allegations and supporting record
The complaint brings two claims: that Branch deliberately concealed important information from Greg, and, as an alternative claim, that her conduct intentionally or recklessly caused severe emotional distress. Greg seeks compensation for the harm, punitive damages, recoverable expenses, and a jury trial.
Branch supplied the sworn factual basis for Interstate’s original lawsuit, stating under oath that all three vehicles had been repossessed. That claim was false, and Interstate has since admitted that. During discovery, Interstate admitted that it had never repossessed or sold the Cadillac or the older Ford. Those admissions came in response to Greg’s formal requests for admission. They were not a voluntary correction of the original lawsuit. Read Branch’s sworn statement · A001-002 · Read Interstate’s admissions · A001-005 · Wayne complaint, paragraphs 32–36 · A001-036.
Greg’s account begins with Branch’s August 2024 inquiry about buying his riverfront home and his August 28 reply that he was not selling at that time. The complaint also identifies her signatures on his loan modifications, the August 27 referral asking her to decide what to do about the older vehicles, and Jonathan Hunt’s November 19, 2025 email to her about selling the 2015 F-150 — see the truck’s photographs. The August 27 referral came before Greg’s reply about the house. Greg alleges that the later decisions became part of a connected effort to harm him. Complaint, paragraphs 5–13 · A001-036.
Greg alleges that Branch helped keep him unaware that Interstate had taken his 2015 Ford F-150 — see the photographs and planned to sell it. He says that concealment kept him from protecting his financial interest before Interstate sold it for $700 on January 8, 2026. He challenges the notice and sale process. Interstate’s valuation worksheet used 226,707 miles, producing a $7,260 mileage deduction, while its title record showed an earlier reading of 63,819 miles. Greg disputes the higher figure. He also alleges financial loss and serious personal harm. Branch’s precise decisions, instructions, and intent remain allegations to be tested through evidence and testimony. Complaint, paragraphs 17–29 and 38–51.
The complaint connects the original sworn allegations, the admissions obtained through discovery, and Interstate’s later increased demand to the larger question of what Branch knew and why she acted. The claims against her focus on her alleged conduct before the lawsuit, rather than treating the later court filings as separate wrongs. Greg seeks compensation for each injury once, with credit for any overlapping recovery in the two cases. Complaint, paragraphs 30–37.
Relationship to Interstate Credit Union v. Moore
In Jeff Davis County, Interstate is pursuing its claimed debt, and Greg is pursuing his counterclaims against the credit union. In Wayne County, Greg is suing Branch personally for her alleged role in the events. Branch is not individually a party to the Jeff Davis case. The cases share parts of the same story, but each has its own parties, claims, and court record.
