TD Auto Finance, LLC v. Zachary Theall

Filed: Feb 20, 2020
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: nobody wakes up dreaming of being sued by a faceless finance company over a truck they can’t afford. But Zachary Theall of Oklahoma didn’t just not dream of it—he lived it. And now, thanks to a $15,000 debt, a repossessed 2011 Ram 1500, and a paper trail longer than the list of reasons you shouldn’t buy a used Dodge with a 10% interest rate, we’re all invited to the financial trainwreck.

Here’s the tea: Zachary Theall wanted a truck. Not a new one, not a fancy one—just a used 2011 Ram 1500 2WD, the kind of vehicle that says “I haul stuff sometimes, but mostly I just need to get to Walmart.” In September 2016, he walked into David Stanley Dodge in Homestead, Oklahoma, signed on the dotted line, and drove off with a used truck and a 72-month loan that would cost him over $36,000 in total. That’s right—$36,193.68 for a truck that, at the time, wasn’t even five years old and probably smelled faintly of old fries and regret. The financing? Handled by TD Auto Finance, LLC, the kind of company that exists solely to say, “You wanted this truck? Cool. Now pay us forever.”

The deal broke down like this: Zachary put down about $23,000—part cash, part trade-in of his old Hyundai Sonata—and financed the rest: $28,545. That came out to $502.69 a month for six years, at a juicy 10.24% annual interest rate. For context, that’s the kind of rate you get when your credit score has seen better days, or when you’re buying a truck from a dealership with a name like “David Stanley Dodge,” which sounds less like a car lot and more like a 1970s cop duo.

For a while, things were… fine. Zachary made his payments. Life rolled on. Then, in August 2018, the wheels came off. Literally, maybe. But definitely financially. He missed a payment. Then another. By September 2018, he was over a thousand bucks behind—$1,055.64 to be exact, including late fees and misc charges that probably included things like “breathing near the loan agreement.”

TD Auto Finance, being the compassionate soul that it is, sent a “Notice of Default and Right to Cure” on October 17, 2018. It was polite, in a corporate psychopath sort of way: Hey Zachary, you’re late. Pay up by October 29 or we’re taking your truck. No court order needed. No judge. Just a repo man with a tow cable and a clipboard.

Zachary didn’t pay. So they took the truck.

Now, repossession is one thing. But what happens after is where it gets juicy. TD Auto Finance didn’t just snatch the Ram and call it a day. They held a private sale starting December 18, 2018. The truck sold for $6,500—less than a quarter of what was still owed. Then came the math lesson nobody asked for.

At the time of repossession, Zachary owed $20,928.80—principal, interest, late fees, the whole sad buffet. Subtract the $6,500 from the sale, and you’re at $14,428.80. Then add in $1,348.08 for repossession, storage, prep, and legal fees. Subtract a $205.67 refund from some insurance or service contract (probably GAP, because of course it was). And boom—deficiency balance: $15,571.21.

That’s the amount TD Auto Finance originally claimed in their affidavit. But by the time they filed the lawsuit in Oklahoma County District Court, they’d knocked it down to $14,859.23. Maybe they found a coupon. Maybe they just wanted to seem reasonable. Either way, they weren’t asking for mercy—they were demanding judgment. Plus interest. Plus attorney’s fees. Plus costs. All of it.

So why are we here? Legally, it’s simple: breach of contract. Zachary signed a Retail Installment Contract. He agreed to pay. He didn’t. TD Auto Finance followed the steps: notice of default, right to cure, repossession, sale, notice of deficiency. All boxes checked. They’re not asking for punitive damages. They’re not trying to ruin his life—just collect the money they say he owes. It’s debt collection, Oklahoma-style.

But let’s talk about what $14,859 actually means. That’s not chump change. That’s a down payment on another car. That’s a year of rent in some parts of Oklahoma. That’s a lot of Ram trucks if you’re buying them wholesale. And it’s all for a vehicle that sold for $6,500 after repossession. So Zachary not only lost the truck, he now owes more than it sold for. That’s like returning a $50 blender to Target and getting billed $75 for the privilege.

TD Auto Finance, for its part, is being represented by Faber and Brand L.L.C., a debt collection law firm that files these kinds of suits like it’s a part-time job. The attorney on record? Michael L. Foster, OK Bar #20701, who probably types “breach of contract” more than he types his own name. And yes, they included the legally required debt collector disclaimer: This is a communication from a debt collector. Any information obtained will be used to collect a debt. In other words: we see you, Zachary. And we will find you.

Now, here’s the kicker: TD Auto Finance had to swear under penalty of perjury that Zachary Theall is not in the military. Why? Because the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) protects active-duty troops from certain legal actions, including repossession and default judgments, without extra safeguards. So before they could sue, they had to check the DoD database and confirm: no, Zachary is not defending our freedoms—he’s just defending his credit score.

What does Zachary want? Well, we don’t know, because he hasn’t filed a response. At least, not in this document. He might be planning to fight it. He might be broke. He might have moved to a yurt in Montana. But right now, it looks like he’s on the ropes, facing a default judgment that could wreck his credit, trigger wage garnishment, or just haunt him like a financial ghost.

So what’s our take? Look, nobody feels bad for a guy who buys a $36,000 truck on a payment plan he can’t afford. But let’s not pretend TD Auto Finance is the hero here. They lent money at 10.24% on a used truck, loaded it with fees, repossessed it, sold it for pennies, and now want more money. That’s not capitalism—that’s debt alchemy: turning a $6,500 sale into a $15,000 liability.

The most absurd part? That this is completely normal. This is how auto lending works in America. You buy a car. You fall behind. They take it. They sell it. You owe more than before. And the finance company gets to sue you like you’re the one who broke the deal. Meanwhile, the truck is gone, the money is gone, and Zachary Theall is just another name in a spreadsheet at a debt collection firm.

We’re not rooting for anyone to win. But if we had to pick a side? We’re rooting for the day when people stop getting sold cars they can’t afford, and finance companies stop pretending they’re shocked when those people can’t pay. Until then, pass the popcorn. And maybe a calculator.

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 Sales Price shown on the front of the assumption that you will make every payment on the day it is due. Your Finance Charge, Total of Payments, and Total Sales Price will be more if you pay later and less if you pay earlier. Our contract also sets the term 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 give you a notice telling you about these charges if either of these graduations occurs. 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 owed before paying any principal. 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. Unless they specifically agree: (1) we may not sell 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, contamination, or adverse weather conditions. For example, if there are fees, taxes, fines, or charges on the vehicle, you agree to repay the amount when we ask for it. c. Security interest. You assign as a security interest: • All money or goods received (pledged) 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 secured payment of all you owe on this contract includes any other agreements in this contract unless we say otherwise. We will set our secured interest as our right to take and sell the vehicle. You will allow any other security interest to be placed on this 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 the 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 such insurance, you agree to pay all insurance premiums, and we may add them to your monthly payment as an 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 the front. 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 breach any provision of 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. We may use an attorney. 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 lower limit is stated by applicable law. 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, you acknowledge that equipment and replacement parts may stay with the vehicle. If there are personal items 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 you repay all you owe after repossession, or if you return the vehicle to us, we will allow you to keep the vehicle. We will tell you how much to pay to redeem your right to redeem funds 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 give 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, repairing it for sale, and selling it. Amounts owed are your cost of the vehicle, plus any late charges. If there is not enough money to pay all you owe after any allowed expenses, 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 or satisfy the law provides otherwise. If you do not pay all you owe when we sell, we may charge you interest at a rate not exceeding the highest lawful rate and you pay. 4. WARRANTIES SELLER DISCLAIMERS 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 fitness for a particular purpose.
