Oklahoma Central Credit Union v. Ashton Lee Smith

Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s be real: nobody tunes into a civil court drama expecting Shakespeare. But sometimes, the universe serves up a legal showdown so gloriously mundane, so steeped in the quiet tragedy of adulting gone wrong, that it demands a spotlight. This is not a murder. There’s no scandalous affair. No celebrity meltdown. Just a 2016 Nissan Titan XD, two people named Smith, and a credit union that really, really wants its $14,545.86 back. And yes — that’s with interest, late fees, and the full emotional weight of a repossession hanging in the air.

Meet Ashton Lee Smith and Casey Daniel Smith — likely related, possibly married, definitely co-signers on a financial decision that spiraled just enough to land them in Rogers County District Court. They live at 16190 E 690th Rd in Inola, Oklahoma, which, for the uninitiated, is the kind of address that suggests wide-open spaces, gravel roads, and a lifestyle where a big diesel truck makes sense. And make no mistake — the 2016 Nissan Titan XD is not some dainty compact car. It’s a hulking, American-made beast with a V8 diesel engine, the kind of vehicle you buy when you need to tow a trailer, haul equipment, or just assert dominance on rural highways. It’s also the kind of vehicle that costs nearly $48,000 when you roll in with a $3,500 down payment and a trade-in 2008 GMC Sierra.

Which brings us to the heart of the matter: money. On June 26, 2021, Ashton and Casey signed on the dotted line with Patriot CDJR of Pryor, Oklahoma’s friendliest Jeep and Dodge dealership (apparently also a Nissan dealer now?), to finance that Titan. The retail installment contract shows they were financing $39,159 — not the full sticker price, but still a serious commitment. Their monthly payment? $629.43. For 84 months. That’s seven years of truck payments, longer than many marriages last. The interest rate? A relatively modest 4.39%, which, in 2021, was not bad at all. But here’s the kicker: buried in the fine print, they also agreed to a $4,150 “service contract” — car dealer speak for an extended warranty that’s about as optional as oxygen in a negotiation. Add in a $490 doc fee and a $10 title fee, and suddenly, that $37,000 cash price balloons into a much heavier financial burden.

Now, here’s what we don’t know: did the truck break down? Did someone lose a job? Did life just pile on too much? The filing doesn’t say. But what it does say is that Ashton and Casey stopped paying. Somewhere along the line, the monthly $629.43 became too much. And when that happens in a secured loan — especially one for a vehicle — the lender doesn’t just send sad emails. They send repossession agents.

Oklahoma Central Credit Union (OCCU), the plaintiff in this case, didn’t originate the loan — Patriot CDJR did. But the dealership quickly assigned the contract to OCCU, a common practice in auto financing. That means OCCU now owns the debt and, more importantly, the right to collect it. And collect they did — by repossessing the Titan. The filing claims the sale of the truck was “commercially reasonable,” a legal way of saying they didn’t just auction it off for $500 on Facebook Marketplace. They followed the rules. They sent the notices. They did the whole sad dance of turning someone’s transportation into a line item on a balance sheet.

But here’s the rub: even after selling the truck, there was still money owed. $14,545.86, to be exact. That’s the deficiency — the gap between what the truck sold for and what was still owed on the loan. And now OCCU wants that money. Not just the principal, but interest (still accruing at 4.39% per year), late fees, court costs, and a “reasonable attorney’s fee.” They’re also asking the court for a special order to pull employment records from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission — a move that suggests they’re preparing to garnish wages if they win. This isn’t just about getting paid. It’s about making sure they can get paid, even if it means tracking down pay stubs from the state.

Legally, this is a textbook breach of contract case. The Smiths signed a binding agreement to pay back the loan. They didn’t. OCCU repossessed the collateral. Sold it. And now they’re suing for the remaining balance. That’s how auto loans work. There’s no mystery here, no legal acrobatics — just the cold mechanics of debt collection. The contract even has an arbitration clause, which means either party could have taken this to arbitration instead of court. But OCCU didn’t. They went straight for the gavel, likely because arbitration takes time, and this is a numbers game. Law firms like Robinett, Swartz & Duren probably handle dozens of these cases a month. Efficiency is key.

Now, is $14,545 a lot? In the grand scheme of civil lawsuits, it’s not exactly Wolf of Wall Street territory. But for someone living on a fixed income in rural Oklahoma, it’s a mountain. It’s a year of groceries. Two years of car insurance. Half a down payment on another truck. It’s the kind of sum that can wreck a budget, ruin credit, and linger for years. And yet — and yet — the Smiths signed up for this. They agreed to the terms. They initialed the arbitration clause. They even acknowledged receiving a fully completed contract. There’s no claim of fraud, no allegation of misrepresentation. Just two people who couldn’t keep up with a payment plan they agreed to.

So where’s the absurdity? It’s not in the amount. It’s not even in the repossession. It’s in the sheer ordinariness of it all. This is how modern debt works — quiet, bureaucratic, and relentless. A truck that was supposed to make life easier becomes the thing that drags it down. A credit union that exists to serve members ends up suing them. And a legal system built for justice becomes a conveyor belt for deficiency judgments. The most tragic part? This probably won’t end in a courtroom showdown. More likely, OCCU will get a default judgment, the Smiths will get a wage garnishment notice, and life will go on — just a little poorer, a little more stressed.

Do we root for the little guy? Sure. We always do. But we also know how this ends. The contract is the contract. The law is the law. And sometimes, the only thing more powerful than a Nissan Titan XD is a spreadsheet with a 4.39% interest rate.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR ROGERS COUNTY STATE OF OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA CENTRAL CREDIT UNION, Plaintiff, v. ASHTON LEE SMITH and CASEY DANIEL SMITH, Defendants. PETITION Plaintiff, Oklahoma Central Credit Union ("OCCU"), by its attorneys, ROBINETT, SWARTZ & DUREN, for its claims against the Defendants, Ashton Lee Smith and Casey Daniel Smith, allege the following: 1. OCCU is a state-chartered credit union with its principal place of business in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 2. Defendants are citizens of Oklahoma. 3. The agreement sued upon in this action was executed and breached in Rogers County, Oklahoma. 4. On or about June 26, 2021, Defendants executed the retail installment contract attached hereto as "Exhibit A".1 The contract was assigned to OCCU, see page 5 of Exhibit A. 5. Defendants are in default under the terms of the note by failing to make payments as agreed. 6. Plaintiff repossessed the collateral used to secure the note. The sale of the collateral was commercially reasonable and Plaintiff sent all notices required by law. 1 Personal identifiers have been redacted. 7. There is currently due to OCCU on the subject note, the principal sum of $14,545.86, plus late fees and interest, with interest accruing on the principal balance at the rate of 4.39% per annum, until paid, the costs of this action, accrued and accruing, and a reasonable attorney's fee. 8. OCCU requests that upon entry of judgment herein in favor of OCCU, that the Court also enter an Order directing the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission ("OESC") to produce information in its possession concerning the employment of the judgment debtor(s) for the preceding four quarters, upon service of a certified copy of said Order on the OESC in accordance with 40 I.S. § 4-508(D). OCCU further requests that the Order direct the OESC to produce the requested information within 35 days from the date of service of the Order, pursuant to 40 O.S. § 4-508(D). 9. Pursuant to Title 15 U.S.C. § 1692(g), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if applicable, unless the person or entity responsible for the payment of the above debt, within thirty-five days after receipt of this notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid; and if said person or entity notifies the undersigned attorney for Plaintiff in writing within said thirty-five day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, said attorney will obtain verification of the debt and a copy of such verification will be mailed to said person or entity by the undersigned attorney for Plaintiff; and upon written request by you within the thirty-five day period, the undersigned attorney for Plaintiff will provide the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. The law does not require me to wait until the end of the thirty-five day period following first contact with you before suing you to collect the debt. Even though the law provides that your answer to the petition is to be filed in this action within 35 days, you may obtain an extension of that time. Furthermore, no request will be made to the Court for a judgment until the expiration of thirty-five days after your receipt of this petition and summons. However, if you request proof of the debt or the name and address of the original creditor within the thirty-five day period that begins with your receipt of this petition and summons, the law requires me to cease my efforts (through litigation or otherwise) until I mail the requested information to you. You should consult an attorney for advice concerning your rights and obligations in this suit. This is an attempt to collect a debt (with the exception of a discharged debt in bankruptcy) and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. WHEREFORE, Oklahoma Central Credit Union requests judgment against the Defendants, Ashton Lee Smith and Casey Daniel Smith, in the principal sum of $14,545.86, plus late fees of and interest, with interest accruing on principal balance at the rate of 4.39% per annum, until paid, the costs of the action, accrued and accruing, and a reasonable attorney’s fee, as well as all other and further relief to which OCCU may be entitled. Plaintiff further requests that upon entry of judgment, the Court also enter an Order directing the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission to produce employment information on the judgment debtor, as more fully set out above.

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 under 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. 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. 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 an additional insured and 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. 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. 1. 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. 2. 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. 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 of fitness for a particular purpose. This provision does not affect any warranties covering the vehicle that the vehicle manufacturer may provide. 5. SERVICING AND COLLECTION CONTACTS You agree that we may try 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. 6. APPLICABLE LAW Federal law and the law of the state of Oklahoma apply to this contract. ARBITRATION PROVISION PLEASE REVIEW - IMPORTANT - AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS 1. EITHER YOU OR WE MAY CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US DECIDED BY ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. 2.

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, 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 on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a class action. You may choose the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or any other organization to conduct the arbitration subject to our approval. 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 contract was executed. We will pay your filing, administration, service or case management fee and your arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $5000, unless the law or the rules of the chosen arbitration organization require us to pay more. 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 waive the right to arbitrate 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 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 action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Provision shall 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.
