TD Auto Finance, LLC v. Dale E. Harden

Filed: Feb 21, 2020
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: Dale Harden just wanted a truck. Not a war, not a courtroom drama, not a $13,000 debt spiral that ends with a corporate debt collector filing papers in Logan County like they’re serving a subpoena on the apocalypse. But here we are. Because sometimes, in America, the price of a used 2012 Dodge Ram isn’t just the sticker—it’s your dignity, your credit score, and a judge’s patience.

So who is Dale E. Harden, Jr.? Honestly, we don’t know much. He’s not a celebrity. He’s not a politician caught in a scandal. He’s just a guy from Oklahoma who, back in August 2016, walked into Barry Sanders Supercenter—a dealership with a name that sounds like a failed fast-food chain—and said, “I’ll take that truck.” And not just take it—finance it. On credit. With a contract longer than a CVS receipt. Seventy-two payments of $429.43. A total payoff of nearly $31,000 for a used Ram with 40,000 miles on it. That’s not a vehicle—it’s a mortgage with a V8 engine.

Now, TD Auto Finance didn’t sell him the truck. They didn’t even sign the paperwork. But they bought the debt. That’s how this game works. Barry Sanders Supercenter sold the loan contract to TD Auto Finance like it was a collectible baseball card, and suddenly, Harden wasn’t paying back the dealership—he was paying a faceless LLC based in Michigan, serviced out of Florida, with a law firm in Missouri sending him legal threats. Welcome to modern capitalism, population: you.

For a while, things were fine. Dale made his payments. The truck rumbled down Oklahoma highways. Life went on. But then—somewhere between September 2016 and August 2018—something broke. Maybe money got tight. Maybe the transmission did. Maybe Dale looked at his bank account, saw another $429.43 vanishing into the void, and thought, “Nah.” Whatever it was, the payments stopped. And when you stop paying on a secured loan, the hammer will fall. And in this case, the hammer was repossession.

In August 2018, TD Auto Finance sent a notice—bolded, capitalized, and legally airtight—informing Dale that they had taken his truck. Not stolen. Not “borrowed.” Repossessed. And they were going to sell it. But before they did, they gave him a choice: pay up and get it back, or wave goodbye. He could renew the contract by coughing up $2,484.58—past due payments, late fees, repossession costs—or pay the full balance: over $20,000. Let’s be real: if Dale had $20,000 lying around, he probably wouldn’t have needed a loan in the first place.

So the truck was sold. Privately. “In a commercially reasonable manner,” the filing says, like that’s supposed to mean something to us. It fetched $7,500. Not great for a Ram 1500, but hey—used car market, depreciation, the American dream in decline. But here’s where the math gets spicy. After the sale, TD Auto Finance tallied up what Dale still owed. They added the remaining loan balance, interest, repossession fees, storage, preparation for sale, legal costs—and subtracted the $357.99 refund from that GAP insurance Dale probably didn’t even remember buying. The result? A deficiency of $13,331.27. That’s right: even after they took the truck and sold it, Dale still owed more than thirteen grand.

And now, in January 2020, TD Auto Finance—via their legal attack dogs at Faber and Brand L.L.C.—sues him. Not for the deficiency amount, though. Oh no. They’re asking for $12,796.49 in principal, $534.78 in interest, plus attorney’s fees, court costs, and future interest at 6.75% until the debt is paid. Because apparently, when you default on a truck loan, the punishment isn’t just losing your vehicle—it’s financing the loss on that vehicle too. Like paying rent on a ghost.

So why are they in court? Because TD Auto Finance wants a judgment. A court stamp that says, “Yes, Dale Harden owes this money.” That judgment can then be used to garnish wages, freeze bank accounts, or just haunt his credit report like a cursed heirloom. Legally, this is a “money due on note” claim—fancy lawyer talk for “you borrowed it, you didn’t pay it, now we want it back.” No fraud. No breach of contract drama. Just cold, hard debt collection. The kind of case that clogs up county courts like cholesterol in an artery.

And what do they want? About $15,900 when you add it all up—attorney’s fees included. Is that a lot? For a used truck payment? Absolutely. It’s more than the vehicle sold for at auction. It’s more than some people make in three months. But in the world of auto finance, this is business as usual. Lenders count on some people defaulting. That’s why they load these contracts with GAP insurance, service contracts, doc fees, and interest that compounds like mold in a damp basement. They’re not just selling a truck—they’re selling risk, and when the bet goes south, they come after you with a spreadsheet and a subpoena.

Now, here’s our take: the most absurd part of this whole saga isn’t that Dale stopped paying. It’s not even that they repossessed the truck. It’s that after selling the collateral, they still expect him to pay more than the car sold for. Think about that. They took the asset, sold it, and now want him to cover the loss plus their legal fees. Meanwhile, Dale probably hasn’t seen that truck in two years. It might be in Texas by now, hauling hay or sitting in a junkyard. But the debt? Oh, the debt is immortal. It lives on. It accrues interest. It gets assigned. It gets sued over.

We’re not saying Dale is innocent. He signed the contract. He agreed to the terms. There’s no allegation of fraud, no shady bait-and-switch, no hidden clauses that we can see. But let’s not pretend this is just about personal responsibility. This is about an entire system designed to keep people in debt—where a $25,000 truck loan can balloon into a $16,000 judgment after the lender sells the vehicle. Where a man loses his car and his money and his peace of mind.

Do we root for Dale? Kind of. Not because he deserves a free truck. But because this feels less like justice and more like financial whack-a-mole. You pay one bill, another pops up. You lose your car, you still owe for it. You try to move on, and a law firm in Missouri mails you a petition like it’s a wedding invitation to your own financial funeral.

At the end of the day, this isn’t a story about a truck. It’s about what happens when debt outlives ownership. When the paperwork becomes more valuable than the property. And when “buying a car” really means “entering a decades-long relationship with a corporation that will never, ever let you forget what you owe.”

We’re entertainers, not lawyers. But if we were judges? We’d at least want to see the auction photos. Because if that Ram sold for $7,500, we need to know—was it missing wheels? Did it have a mattress in the bed? Was it haunted? Because somehow, thirteen thousand dollars still feels like a lot to pay for a ghost.

Buyer Initials DH | Co-Buyer Initials N/A 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 of 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 (repossession) 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, 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.
