RE: Acct #14-7215
Dear M' Bubnis:
On 10/27/98, we repossessed your vehicle. We have sold the 1995 Nissan PFO for
$5500.00, and there is now a deficiency of $7224.92 which you are obligated to pay within ten
(10) days. The mount owed may vary depending on the receipt of expenses or rebates.
In the event you are unable to liquidate this deficiency as requested, please call me at 1-
800-338-4728, immediately to discuss a repayment schedule.
This repossession and outstanding debt may harm your credit rating and effect your
ability to obtain credit in the future.
Your cooperation to clear this obligation will be of mutual benefit to you and to the bank.
Sincerely,
John Hill
