Description
Chischilly, a Navajo Indian, brought suit in District Court in Bernalillo County against General Motors Acceptance Corporation (hereafter, GMAC) for damages for unlawful repossession of a truck. He had purchased the truck from Schultz Buick on August 18, 1976, on a retail installment contract. GMAC financed the transaction and obtained a security interest in the truck. On two occasions one around August 1, 1977, and the other around January 18, 1978, an employee of GMAC repossessed the truck from Chischillys residence at the Littlewater Community and removed it to Albuquerque. On neither occasion did GMAC obtain either Chischillys consent or a tribal court order to allow it to repossess the truck. The Little water Community is located in McKinley County in the State of New Mexico, on land owned by the United States and held in trust for the Navajo Indians. Repossession without the debtors consent, or a tribal order, is prohibited by Navajo law.
