NCB MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. Assignee of Fulton Ford v. ERIC CUNNINGHAM

What's This Case About?

Let’s be real: nobody wakes up dreaming of getting sued for $6,821.24 over a used 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage. But here we are. In a courtroom in Bryan County, Oklahoma, a debt collector is going after a man named Eric Cunningham—not for murder, not for fraud, not even for stealing someone’s Wi-Fi—but for failing to pay the remainder of a car loan after the vehicle was repossessed and sold at auction. And get this: the car sold for $6,000. The debt? Still over six grand. That’s like returning a pizza and still owing for the delivery guy’s gas, emotional distress, and his cousin’s orthodontist bill. Welcome to CrazyCivilCourt, where the stakes are low, the paperwork is high, and the interest rate is 26.2%—because apparently, in 2022, someone thought it was a good idea to finance a Mirage at the same APR as a payday loan from a goblin in a back-alley casino.

So who are these people? On one side, we’ve got Eric Cunningham, a man whose name appears in the filing with a suspicious typo—“Eric Cummins” on the contract, “Eric Cunningham” everywhere else—suggesting either a clerical error or a man trying to live a double life under the financial radar. He lives in Bryan County, Oklahoma, and in September 2022, he walked into Fulton Ford in Fulton, Missouri—yes, Missouri, not Oklahoma—to buy a used 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage. That’s right: he crossed state lines for a car that starts at $15,000 new and depreciates faster than a Snapchat streak. But this wasn’t just a cash-and-drive situation. Eric financed the whole thing through a retail installment contract, promising to pay back $32,102.16 over 72 months. Let that sink in: he bought a used Mirage for nearly double its market value, thanks to a $16,240 finance charge. That’s not a car payment—that’s a mortgage for a haunted shed in rural Arkansas.

Now, the plaintiff isn’t even the original lender. It’s NCB Management Services, Inc., a debt collection agency that bought the defaulted loan from Fulton Ford, which had presumably already sold it to someone else before that. This is financial whack-a-mole: the original dealer sold the debt, which got packaged and resold like a greasy burrito at a truck stop, until it landed in the lap of NCB, represented by the ever-diligent Crystal Griffin of Berman & Rabin, P.A.—a firm that, based on their docket, probably spends more time chasing down car payments than their clients spend thinking about their credit scores.

So what happened? According to the petition, Eric missed a payment. Then another. Then, like a slow-motion car crash, he defaulted. The contract gave the lender the right to demand full payment if he broke any terms, and once he was late, they pulled the trigger. The car—this humble 2020 Mirage with 33,292 miles on it—was repossessed. Now, repossession is its own dramatic genre: tow trucks at dawn, GPS trackers, neighbors filming from behind curtains. But here, the filing doesn’t say whether it was a stealthy snatch or a voluntary surrender. Either way, the car was gone. And then, in classic creditor fashion, they sent Eric a Notice of Our Plan to Sell Property—a document so passive-aggressive it should come with a sad trombone sound effect. It politely informed him that they were going to sell his car after December 5, 2023, and if he wanted it back, he’d have to pay the entire balance, not just what he was behind. No partial payments, no second chances. Just “pay up or peace out.”

They sold it on March 21, 2024, for $6,000—$1,000 less than what Eric still owed after the sale, once they tacked on repossession fees, storage (though storage was mysteriously $0), prep, and a $461.50 “cost of selling” fee that sounds like it might include a PowerPoint presentation or a catering budget. The final deficiency? $10,113.83. But wait—the lawsuit only asks for $6,821.24. Why the difference? Because somewhere between the repossession and the filing, either the math changed, or NCB decided to go easy. Or maybe they just rounded down because they’re reasonable debt collectors. Either way, they’re now suing for that amount, plus interest at 6% per year, court costs, and—here’s the spicy part—a request that the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission hand over Eric’s employment records so they can find out where he works and start garnishing wages. That’s not just collecting a debt—that’s launching a financial manhunt.

So why are they in court? Legally, this is a deficiency judgment case. When you finance a car and default, the lender can repossess and sell it. But if the sale doesn’t cover what you owe, they can come after you for the difference—the “deficiency.” In Oklahoma, as long as the sale was “commercially reasonable” (a legal phrase that basically means “not totally shady”), they’re allowed to do this. And according to the filing, the sale was super reasonable: it happened at a regularly occurring vehicle sale, during normal business hours, in a normal place. No backroom deals, no Craigslist “$10 or best offer” nonsense. This was legit. So NCB isn’t just mad—they’re procedurally correct. They sent the notices, followed the rules, did the math (kind of), and now they want their money.

And what do they want? $6,821.24. Is that a lot? For a used Mirage, absolutely. The car itself was worth maybe $12,000 when new. By 2024, it’s probably worth $8,000 on a good day with low mileage and a fresh wax. But Eric only owed $15,174 when they repossessed it—on a car that sold for $6,000. So yes, $6,800 is a lot to still owe on a car you no longer have. It’s like returning a rental tuxedo and getting billed for the dry cleaning, the lost bowtie, and the fact that the guy who wore it got dumped at prom. But in the world of subprime auto lending—where high-interest loans are given to people with shaky credit so they can drive cars they can’t afford—this is Tuesday. This is how the system works. You pay too much up front, the car depreciates fast, you miss a payment, they take it, sell it for less than you owe, and then sue you for the gap. It’s not a flaw in the system—it’s the design.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t even the 26.2% interest rate (though, seriously, who approved that? A loan shark with a calculator?). It’s that Eric Cunningham bought a Mitsubishi Mirage—a car so aggressively uncool that it makes the Yugo look like a Bond car—and ended up in debt court over it. This is the automotive equivalent of buying a single slice of pizza on credit and ending up owing for the oven, the chef’s student loans, and the delivery moped. We’re not rooting for the debt collector—we’re entertainers, not monsters. But we’re not exactly rooting for Eric either, unless he can prove he was misled or the repo process was a scam. Mostly, we’re rooting for the system to make sense. For interest rates that don’t belong in a Saw movie. For cars that don’t cost more than a used motorcycle after financing. And for a world where you can’t be sued for thousands over a car that, let’s be honest, probably had a dashboard light on for “Check Engine” and “Check Your Life Choices.”

But until that world arrives? Welcome to Bryan County District Court. Where the Mirage is gone, but the debt lives on.
