PETITION
COMES NOW the Plaintiff, Oklahoma Educators Credit Union, ("OECU"), and for its cause of action against the Defendant, Kody Bowman, alleges and states:
1. The Plaintiff is duly organized and authorized to do business in the State of Oklahoma.
2. The Defendant is a resident of this County. Therefore, this Court has jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter of this action.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
3. This matter concerns a Retail Installment Sale Contract ("Contract"). The Defendant made application for a credit loan with Plaintiff. The application was approved and the Defendant agreed to the terms of said Contract on or about April 9th, 2018, the rights of which are held by OECU.
4. The Defendant promised to pay the sum of $33,821.00, payable in monthly installments of $530.35 per month, with interest thereon at the annual percentage rate of 13.49%, until fully paid, and according to all terms thereof. A copy of said Contract is attached hereto and made part as though fully written herein. (Exhibit "A").
5. To secure performance of the Contract, the Defendant contemporaneously executed a security agreement granting a security interest in a 2011 Dodge Durango VIN: 1D4SE5GT3BC650016 ("Collateral") to OECU.
6. The security interest was properly perfected. (Exhibit "B")
7. The Defendant failed to pay pursuant to the terms of the Contract, despite demand by Plaintiff, and Defendant is in default.
8. The Plaintiff recovered the collateral and complied with all notice requirements set forth by law. The Collateral was sold in a commercially reasonable manner.
9. After deducting the net proceeds from the sale, the balance left due and owing is in the principal sum of $11,604.23 with interest accrued in the sum of $910.81 through March 31st, 2021 and continuing to accrue at the rate of 13.49% plus unpaid late fees in the sum of $62.50.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays for judgment against the Defendant, Kody Bowman, in the sum of $11,604.23 with interest accrued in the sum of $910.81 through March 31st, 2021 and continuing to accrue at the rate of 13.49% plus unpaid late fees in the sum of $62.50. The Plaintiff further prays for costs herein accrued and accruing, and for such other and further relief to which Plaintiff may be entitled and which this Court deems just and proper.
Respectfully Submitted,

SERVICING AND COLLECTION CONTACTS

APPLICABLE LAW
Federal law and the law of the state of our address shown above apply to this contract.
WARRANTIES SELLER DISCLAIMS
Unless the Seller makes a written warranty, or enters into a service contract within 90 days from the date of this contract, the Seller makes no warranties, express or implied, on the vehicle, and there will be no implied warranties of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose.
This provision does not affect any warranties covering the vehicle that the vehicle manufacturer may provide.
NO COOLING OFF PERIOD
State law does not provide for a "cooling off" or cancellation period for this sale. After you sign this contract, you may only cancel it if the seller agrees or for legal cause. You cannot cancel this contract simply because you change your mind. This notice does not apply to home solicitation sales.

RECOVERY HEREUNDER BY THE DEBTOR SHALL NOT EXCEED AMOUNTS PAID BY THE DEBTOR HEREUNDER.
The preceding NOTICE applies only to goods or services obtained primarily for personal, family, or household use.

See the rest of this contract for other important agreements.
OTHER IMPORTANT AGREEMENTS
1. FINANCE CHARGE AND PAYMENTS
a. How we will figure Finance Charge. We will figure the Finance Charge on a daily basis at the Annual Percentage Rate on the unpaid part of the Amount Financed.
b. How we will apply payments. We may apply each payment to the earned and unpaid part of the Finance Charge, to the unpaid part of the Amount Financed and to other amounts you owe under this contract in any order we choose.
c. How late payments or early payments change what you must pay. We based the Finance Charge, Total of Payments, and Total Sale Price shown on page 1 of this contract, on the assumption that you will make every payment on the day it is due. Your Finance Charge, Total of Payments, and Total Sale Price will be more if you pay late and less if you pay early. Changes may take the form of a larger or smaller final payment or, at our option, more or fewer payments of the same amount as your scheduled payment with a smaller final payment. We will send you a notice telling you about these changes before the final scheduled payment is due.
d. You may prepay. You may prepay all or part of the unpaid part of the Amount Financed at any time without penalty. If you do so, you must pay the earned and unpaid part of the Finance Charge and all other amounts due up to the date of your payment.
e. Your right to refinance a balloon payment. A balloon payment is a scheduled payment that is more than twice as large as the average of your earlier scheduled payments. If you are buying the vehicle primarily for personal, family or household use, you have the right to refinance the balloon payment when due without penalty. The terms of the refinancing will be no less favorable to you than the terms of this contract. This provision does not apply if we adjusted your payment schedule to your seasonal or irregular income.
2. YOUR OTHER PROMISES TO US
a. If the vehicle is damaged, destroyed, or missing. You agree to pay us all you owe under this contract even if the vehicle is damaged, destroyed, or missing.
b. Using the vehicle. You agree not to remove the vehicle from the U.S. or Canada, or to sell, rent, lease, or transfer any interest in the vehicle or this contract without our written permission. You agree not to expose the vehicle to misuse, seizure, confiscation, or involuntary transfer. If we pay any repair bills, storage bills, taxes, fines, or charges on the vehicle, you agree to repay the amount when we ask for it.
c. Security Interest.
You give us a security interest in:
• The vehicle and all parts or goods put on it;
• All money or goods received (proceeds) for the vehicle;
• All insurance, maintenance, service, or other contracts we finance for you; and
• All proceeds from insurance, maintenance, service, or other contracts we finance for you. This includes any refunds of premiums or charges from the contracts.
This secures payment of all you owe on this contract. It also secures your other agreements in this contract. You will make sure the title shows our security interest (lien) in the vehicle. You will not allow any other security interest to be placed on the title without our written permission.
d. Insurance you must have on the vehicle. You agree to have physical damage insurance covering loss of or damage to the vehicle for the term of this contract. The insurance must cover our interest in the vehicle. If you do not have this insurance, we may, if we choose, buy physical damage insurance. If we decide to buy physical damage insurance, we may either buy insurance that covers your interest and our interest in the vehicle, or buy insurance that covers only our interest. If we buy either type of insurance, we will tell you which type and the charge you must pay. The charge will be the premium for the insurance and a finance charge computed at the Annual Percentage Rate shown on page 1 of this contract. If the vehicle is lost or damaged, you agree that we may use any insurance settlement to reduce what you owe or repair the vehicle.
e. What happens to returned insurance, maintenance, service, or other contract charges. If we get a refund of insurance, maintenance, service, or other contract charges, you agree that we may subtract the refund from what you owe.
3. IF YOU PAY LATE OR BREAK YOUR OTHER PROMISES
a. You may owe late charges. You will pay a late charge on each late payment as shown on page 1 of this contract. Acceptance of a late payment does not excuse your late payment or mean that you may keep making late payments. If you pay late, we may also take the steps described below.
b. You may have to pay all you owe at once. If you break your promises (default), we may demand that you pay all you owe on this contract at once. Default means:
• You do not pay any payment on time;
• You give false, incomplete, or misleading information on a credit application;
• You start a proceeding in bankruptcy or one is started against you or your property; or
• You break any agreements in this contract.
The amount you will owe will be the unpaid part of the Amount Financed plus the earned and unpaid part of the Finance Charge, any late charges, and any amounts due because you defaulted.
c. You may have to pay collection costs. If we hire an attorney who is not our salaried employee to collect what you owe, you will pay the attorney's fee and court costs the law permits. The maximum attorney's fee you will pay will be 15% of the amount you owe, unless a court awards an additional amount.
d. We may take the vehicle from you. If you default, we may take (repossess) the vehicle from you if we do so peacefully and if the law allows it. If your vehicle has an electronic tracking device, you agree that we may use the device to find the vehicle. If we take the vehicle, any accessories, equipment, and replacement parts will stay with the vehicle. If any personal items are in the vehicle, we may store them for you at your expense. If you do not ask for these items back, we may dispose of them as the law allows.
e. How you can get the vehicle back if we take it. If we repossess the vehicle, you may pay to get it back (redeem). We will tell you how much to pay to redeem. Your right to redeem ends when we sell the vehicle.
f. We will sell the vehicle if you do not get it back. If you do not redeem, we will sell the vehicle. We will send you a written notice of sale before selling the vehicle. We will apply the money from the sale, less allowed expenses, to the amount you owe. Allowed expenses are expenses we pay as a direct result of taking the vehicle, holding it, preparing it for sale, and selling it. Attorney fees and court costs, if the law permits, are also allowed expenses. If any money is left (surplus), we will pay it to you unless the law requires us to pay it to someone else. If money from the sale is not enough to pay the amount you owe, you must pay the rest to us unless the law provides otherwise. If you do not pay this amount when we ask, we may charge you interest at a rate not exceeding the highest lawful rate until you pay.
g. What we may do about optional insurance, maintenance, service, or other contracts. This contract may contain charges for optional insurance, maintenance, service, or other contracts. If we demand that you pay all you owe at once or we repossess the vehicle, you agree that we may claim benefits under these contracts and cancel them to obtain refunds of unearned charges to reduce what you owe or repair the vehicle. If the vehicle is a total loss because it is confiscated, damaged, or stolen, we may claim benefits under these contracts and cancel them to obtain refunds of unearned charges to reduce what you owe.

If you elect to purchase VSI insurance through the Creditor, the cost of this insurance is $ __________ N/A ___ and is also shown in item 4B of the Itemization of Amount Financed. The coverage is for the initial term of the contract. Any insurer issuing VSI insurance waives its rights to subrogation against the buyer.
