Defendant opened account no. 03-62037-60980-1 (the "Account') and charged
various purchases of merchandise to the Account.
4. Sales invoices executed by the Defendant at the times when purchases charged to
this Account occurred, granted to "Sears" a security interest in the merchandise purchased until
fully paid. Copies of the sales invoices signed by the Defendant are attached hereto, marked as
Exhibit "A" and are incorporated herein by reference.
5. Sears' security interest in the merchandise purchased pursuant to the Account is
perfected without filing a UCC-1 Financing Statement pursuant to UCC 9-302(a)(4). Sears is a
secured creditor of the Defendant and holds a perfected purchase money security interest in the
consumer goods identified in Exhibit "B" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
6. All payments made by the Defendant on the Account are applied first to any
unpaid insurance or finance charges and then to pay for the earliest charges on the Account.

liability to pay certain debts including the debt owed to Sears.

legal effect on the validity of its security interest in the merchandise identified in Exhibit "B".
See Efate of I ellock vs Prudential In ran n of America, 811 F.2d 186 (3rd Cir. 1987).
11. Pursuant to Sears' purchase money security interest in the merchandise identified
in Exhibit "B", Sears is entitled to possession of such merchandise.
12. Upon information and belief, Defendant is in possession of the merchandise
identified in Exhibit "B".
13. The fair market value of the merchandise identified in Exhibit "B" totals Four
Hundred Eighty-two Dollars and Thirty-nine Cents ($482.39).
14. Although demanded, Defendant refused and continues to refuse to turn over
possession of the merchandise to Sears.
WHEREFORE, Sears respectfully requests this Court for a judgment for possession with
respect to the merchandise identified in Exhibit "B".
