TRUITY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION v. ABIGAIL CRAIG

Filed: Feb 20, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: Truity Federal Credit Union is suing Abigail Craig not for stealing a car, not for crashing it into a Walmart, not even for painting it neon pink and driving it to Burning Man—no, they’re suing her because she stopped making payments on a used 2021 Chevy Equinox that she bought less than a year ago. And now, the credit union wants their $25,700 back—plus the car. The kicker? The car is only worth about half that now. So buckle up, because this is a textbook case of modern American debt theater, where a woman buys a slightly used crossover SUV and suddenly finds herself in a legal showdown that reads like a Law & Order: Small Claims cold open.

Abigail Craig, a resident of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, walked into Patriot Chevrolet in Bartlesville last April—springtime, optimism in the air, maybe a new job, maybe a new lease on life—and walked out with a 2021 Chevy Equinox. It had 94,000 miles on it, which, for a three-year-old SUV in 2025, is about as average as a beige minivan at a PTA meeting. She put down $300 and financed the rest—$25,700, to be exact—at 8.24% interest over seven years. That’s not an outrageous APR by today’s subprime auto loan standards, but it’s not exactly a bargain, either. The total she’ll end up paying if she makes every payment? A cool $34,022.52. For context, that’s more than the original MSRP of a new base-model Equinox in 2021. But hey, welcome to the used car market in 2025, where sticker shock is just the appetizer.

Now, here’s where things go off the rails. According to the filing, Abigail made her first few payments—enough to get to October 2025—but then stopped. Just… stopped. No dramatic car chase, no YouTube video of her burning the title in a bonfire. Just silence. And when a credit union doesn’t hear from a borrower, especially one who’s pledged a vehicle as collateral, they don’t send a passive-aggressive email. They send John Heskett.

John Heskett, attorney for Truity Federal Credit Union (and, judging by the firm name, probably related to at least one other Heskett), filed this lawsuit in February 2026, demanding not just the money, but the actual car. This is a replevin action—yes, that’s a real legal term, and no, it’s not a type of energy drink. Replevin is how creditors legally say, “We want our property back, and we want it now.” It’s the legal equivalent of “I’m coming to get my lawnmower, Karen.” Except in this case, the lawnmower is a 2021 Equinox worth $12,200, and the Karen is a credit union with a lien.

The credit union claims Abigail defaulted on the loan, which means she broke the terms of the agreement by not paying. And because she signed a Retail Installment Sale Contract—pages and pages of tiny print that includes an arbitration clause, a gap contract for $1,200, a $609 document fee, and a $4,500 “service contract” (which, let’s be honest, probably covers oil changes and a free car wash)—they’re not just entitled to the money. They’re entitled to the car. And they’re worried Abigail might “conceal, damage or destroy” it. Seriously. The filing actually says they believe she might try to hide the SUV or take it out of state. Which, sure, maybe she’s planning to drive it to Mexico and start a taco truck. Or maybe she just hasn’t responded to their letters. But in the world of civil litigation, suspicion is enough to trigger full-on repossession mode.

So why are they in court instead of just sending a repo man? Because replevin in Oklahoma requires a judge’s blessing if the creditor wants to seize the property before a full trial. It’s a “pre-judgment” remedy, meaning they don’t want to wait six months for a hearing—they want the car now. The court filing even includes a warning straight out of a mafia movie: if Abigail (or anyone) damages, hides, or removes the car, they could be charged with a misdemeanor and on the hook for double the damages. That’s right—this isn’t just about money. This is about sending a message. And also, possibly, about not losing $25,677.23 on a bad loan.

Now, let’s talk about what Truity actually wants. They’re demanding the full balance due—$25,677.23, plus interest from October 2025, plus attorney’s fees (which they claim are 15% of the unpaid balance—so another $3,850 or so), and the costs of the lawsuit. Oh, and they also want the court to order the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission to hand over Abigail’s employment records for the past four quarters. That’s not a typo. They want to know where she’s working, presumably so they can garnish wages if they win. This is not a “friendly reminder” from your local credit union. This is a full-scale financial audit initiated over a used SUV payment.

And here’s the absurd part: the car is worth half of what she still owes. That’s the brutal math of auto depreciation and long-term loans. She financed $25,700 on a used car, and now it’s worth $12,200. If the credit union repossesses it and sells it at auction, they’ll be out over $13,000—plus fees, repossession costs, legal bills. So they’re not just suing to get the car. They’re suing to get everything else, too. The deficiency balance. The interest. The attorney’s fees. They’re not trying to break even. They’re trying to make Abigail pay for their bad bet on a depreciating asset.

Now, we don’t know why Abigail stopped paying. Maybe she lost her job. Maybe the car broke down and the $4,500 “service contract” didn’t cover the repair. Maybe she got in an accident. Maybe she just decided the monthly $405 payment (plus a $31 late fee if she’s even a day late) was too much for a car that’s already falling apart. The filing doesn’t say. And that’s the problem with these cases—they’re all about the numbers, the liens, the legal procedures, but they rarely tell the human story. Was this loan predatory? Not quite. But was it predatory-adjacent? Absolutely. A $25,700 loan for a used SUV with nearly 100,000 miles? A $4,500 “service contract”? A $609 document fee? That’s not financing a car. That’s financing a debt trap.

Our take? We’re not rooting for Abigail because she dodged her payments. We’re rooting for her because this whole system is ridiculous. A grown woman signs a 17-page contract full of arbitration clauses and gap insurance disclosures and service add-ons, and now she’s being hunted by a credit union that wants to seize her car and audit her employment history—all over a vehicle that’s already lost more than half its value. The real villain here isn’t Abigail. It’s the auto lending industry that turns a simple car purchase into a multi-layered financial instrument that can collapse like a house of cards the second life throws a curveball.

And let’s be real: if Abigail did try to hide the car, she’s probably not doing it for fun. She’s doing it because without that SUV, she can’t get to work, can’t pick up her kids, can’t get groceries. The car isn’t just collateral. It’s survival. Meanwhile, Truity Federal Credit Union is treating it like a defaulted bond. So yeah, sue her. Go ahead. But don’t act surprised when the public rolls their eyes and says, “Welcome to America, where your used Chevy can get you arrested.”

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 as the law allows. 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. You agree to name us on your insurance policy as loss payee. 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 during 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 (such as GPS), 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. 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. 4. SERVICING AND COLLECTION CONTACTS In consideration of our extension of credit to you, you agree to provide us your contact information for our servicing and collection purposes. You agree that we may use this information to contact you in writing, by e-mail, or using prerecorded/artificial voice messages, text messages, and automatic telephone dialing systems, as the law allows. You also agree that we may try to contact you in these and other ways at any address or telephone number you provide us, even if the telephone number is a cell phone number or the contact results in a charge to you. You agree to allow our agents and service providers to contact you as agreed above. You agree that you will, within a reasonable time, notify us of any change in your contact information. 5. APPLICABLE LAW Federal law and the law of the state of Oklahoma apply to this contract. 6. NEGATIVE CREDIT REPORT NOTICE We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.

ARBITRATION PROVISION PLEASE REVIEW - IMPORTANT - AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS 1. EITHER YOU OR WE MAY CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US DECIDED BY ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. 2. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. 3. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. Any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise (including the interpretation and scope of this Arbitration Provision, any allegation of waiver of rights under this Arbitration Provision, and the arbitrability of the claim or dispute), between you and us or our employees, agents, successors or assigns, which arises out of or relates to your credit application, purchase or condition of this Vehicle, this contract or any resulting transaction or relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this contract) shall, at your or our election, be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by a court action. If federal law provides that a claim or dispute is not subject to binding arbitration, this Arbitration Provision shall not apply to such claim or dispute. Any claim or dispute is to be arbitrated by a single arbitrator only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff in a collective or representative action, or a class representative or member of a class on any class claim. The arbitrator may not preside over a consolidated, representative, class, collective, injunctive, or private attorney general action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a consolidated, representative, class, collective, injunctive, or private attorney general action. You or we may choose the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or National Arbitration and Mediation (www.namadr.com) as the arbitration organization to conduct the arbitration. If you and we agree, you or we may choose a different arbitration organization. You may get a copy of the rules of an arbitration organization by contacting the organization or visiting its website. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law and the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in the federal district in which you reside unless the Seller-Creditor is a party to the claim or dispute, in which case the hearing will be held in the federal district where this transaction was originated. We will pay the filing, administration, service, or case management fee and the arbitrator or hearing fee up to a maximum of $5,000, unless the law or the rules of the chosen arbitration organization require us to pay more. You and we will pay the filing, administration, service, or case management fee and the arbitrator or hearing fee over $5,000 in accordance with the rules and procedures of the chosen arbitration organization. The amount we pay may be reimbursed in whole or in part by decision of the arbitrator if the arbitrator finds that any of your claims is frivolous under applicable law. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. If the chosen arbitration organization's rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision, then the provisions of this Arbitration Provision shall control. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Any award by the arbitrator shall be in writing and will be final and binding on all parties, subject to any limited right to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. You and we retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court's jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Neither you nor we have the right to arbitrate any related or unrelated claims by filing any action in small claims court, or by using self-help remedies, such as repossession, or by filing an action to recover the vehicle, to recover a deficiency balance, or for individual or statutory public injunctive relief. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. This Arbitration Provision shall survive any termination, payoff or transfer of this contract. If any part of this Arbitration Provision, other than waivers of class rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. You agree that you expressly waive any right you may have for a claim or dispute to be resolved on a class basis in court or in arbitration. If a court or arbitrator finds that this class arbitration waiver is unenforceable for any reason with respect to a claim or dispute in which class allegations have been made, the rest of this Arbitration Provision shall also be unenforceable. The Annual Percentage Rate may be negotiable with the Seller. The Seller may assign this contract and retain its right to receive a part of the Finance Charge. HOW THIS CONTRACT CAN BE CHANGED.
