On April 17, 2026, I received a phone call from my daughter telling me that an armed law enforcement officer had delivered some papers. I later understood that she was a deputy sheriff.
It was a couple of hours before I was able to get home. When I got there, she explained what the visit had been like.
We live approximately a mile, maybe a little more, down behind a gate with a keypad. It's tricky to get to our home. Even Google Maps doesn't bring you all the way to the house.
She told me it had been a fairly nerve-wracking experience. We live in a very rural, private setting. You don't expect an armed law enforcement officer to show up at your house. In that setting, you think, oh my God, something must be horribly wrong.
I looked at the papers the deputy had delivered. They were what I would come to know as the Complaint for Deficiency Judgment, accompanied by a sworn verification from Stacie Branch, the president and CEO of Interstate Credit Union.
What I understood from reading them was that Interstate said three vehicles had been repossessed on June 27, 2025, sold, and the proceeds applied to what I owed on the loans. They were claiming a remaining deficiency of about $32,000, plus $5,000 in legal fees. Samantha Jacobs was representing Interstate.
My first thought was, well, there's got to be some mistake. Two of the vehicles they were saying had been repossessed were still in my possession, in storage.
I had attempted to give those vehicles back to them. They had liens on them, and keeping them was a burden. As I understood it, I couldn't sell them or do anything with them. I just had to hold them. I wanted Interstate to take them, but they hadn't taken them back.
Now I was reading papers delivered to my home by law enforcement that said the vehicles had been repossessed, and that I owed this money afterward.
That's where I started looking into it. That's how it began that day—with my daughter's call, the papers, and the realization that what I was reading did not match what I knew about two of those vehicles.
Documents and dates
The original complaint was filed March 19, 2026, at 4:40 p.m. It demanded $32,035.42, plus $5,000 in attorney fees and other relief. Stacie Branch's verification was signed March 18 and filed March 19. These are allegations and a verification, not court findings.
The sheriff's service receipt records April 17, 2026, at approximately 2 p.m. Delivery to Gregory's daughter, his absence, the phone call, the officer's being armed, and his reaction are attributed to his recollection. The service receipt remains private pending review.
