providing for their purchase of the Vehicle (the "Agreement"), which Agreement
was assigned to the Plaintiff and of which assignment the Defendants were
notified. A tree and correct copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit

The Agreement grants to the Seller, and, by assignment, to the Plaintiff, a security
interest in the Vehicle.
The security interest was perfected by notation on the title for the Vehicle, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference.
Defendants have repeatedly defaulted under the Agreement by failing to make

Despite Plaintiffs repeated demands, Defendants have not cured their defaults

Plaintiff has exercised its fights to accelerate all amounts due and owing under the
Agreement.
The full retail value of the Vehicle is approximately Eighteen Thousand

Wherefore, the Plaintiff requests that the Court enter judgment in favor of the Plaintiff
and against the Defendants, jointly and severally, ordering that the Plaintiff be granted possession
of the Vehicle and that the Court order such further relief as it deems just and proper.
