COMPLAINT
AND NOW, TO WIT, this ~.05ay of ~
,2003, comes the Plaintiff, AllFirst Bank,
f/d/b/a Dauphin Deposit Bank & Trust Company, by and through its attorneys, Kristi A. Gohn, Esquire,
and Griffith, Strickler, Lerman, Solymos & Calkins, and does file this Complaint, a statement of which is
as follows:
1. The Plaintiff, AllFirst Bank, is a federally chartered bank duly authorized to do business
within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, whose business address is P.O. Box 17103, Baltimore,
Maryland 21203.
2. The Defendant, Jeffrey W. Mansfield, is an adult individual residing at 1225
Constitutional Center, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055.
3. On or about April 30, 1997, Defendant executed a Motor Vehicle Installment Contract
for the principal sum of Fourteen Thousand Four Hundred Ninety-One and 48/100 ($14,491.48) Dollars
in order to purchase a 1992 GMC Jimmy, Vehicle Identification Number 1GKDT13Z5N2513947 with
interest accruing at the rate of 13.00%. (A true and correct copy of the Motor Vehicle Installment
Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof as though set forth at length.)
4. Since then, Defendant did tender certain payments to Plaintiff and Plaintiff did credit
Defendant's account in the amount of any tendered payments.
5. On or about June 30, 2000, Defendant defaulted under the terms and conditions of the
contract, by failing to remit his required monthly payment.
6. On or about early October, 2000, Plaintiff repossessed the subject vehicle in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Motor Vehicle Installment Contract and provided Defendant with a
Notice of Repossession on or about October 12, 2000. (A true and correct copy of the Notice of
Repossession is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and made a part hereof as though set forth at length.)
7. Because Defendant failed to redeem his debt with Plaintiff within the provided fifteen
(15) day period, the subject vehicle was sold at public sale at BSC America Car & Truck Auction for a
reasonable price; however, the proceeds from that sale did not satisfy the outstanding debt owed to
Plaintiff, and a deficiency balance remains due and owing.
8. As of January 30, 2001, Defendant remained due and owing a principal balance of Seven
Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Nine and 35/100 ($7,799.35) Dollars to Plaintiff.
9. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Motor Vehicle Sales Contract, Defendant
remains due and owing to Plaintiff interest in the amount of thirteen percent (13%) or $2,319.51 as of
June 13, 2002, and interest continues to accrue.
10. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Motor Vehicle Sales Contract, Defendant
remains due and owing to Plaintiff reasonable attorney's fees in the amount of $1,949.84.
11. Plaintiff has demanded payment of Defendant but said Defendant has refused and
continues to refuse to pay the same or any part thereof.
12. The amount in controversy herein requires mandatory reference to Arbitration.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Allfirst Bank, prays that judgment be entered in its favor and against
Defendant, Jeffrey W. Mansfield, for Twelve Thousand Sixty-Eight and 70/100 Dollars ($12,068.70) plus
interest, attorney's fees, and costs of suit.
