Plaintiff, an Indiana company, entered into an agency agreement with Defendant, a Louisiana company, in March 2014. In May 2014, Defendant signed a promissory note for over $32,000, including numerous vans and trailers as collateral. The agency agreement was then terminated in October 2014. Plaintiff sent Defendant multiple letters regarding amounts owed (over $73,000) and cessation of trademark usage.
