Chrysler Credit Corp. v. Seemann

DUFRESNE, Judge.

This is an appeal by Karl A. Seemann, III, appellant, from a judgment sustaining the exception of prescription as to his re-conventional demand in a suit originally brought against him for a deficiency judgment by Chrysler Credit Corporation.

FACTS

Seemann bought a van from Clearview Dodge Sales, Inc. on February 16, 1980. The vehicle was financed by Chrysler Credit Corporation. In March, 1983, after Seemann had failed to make several payments, Chrysler Credit had the van seized and sold. It then instituted suit for a deficiency judgment for the amount still owing after the sale.
