The football safety of football in Colorado Shilo Sanders did not continue to pay his payments for 2023 Mercedes-Benz, leading the hand of the financial services of the car company to seek relief from the court where Sanders filed for bankrupt Services.
The company said Sanders, the son of Colorado coach Daine Sanders, has passed for $ 6,877 at its monthly payments from December to February. He also notes that Sanders has an unpaid balance of $ 97,239, while the value of the car trade is less than $ 97,000.

As a result, the company wants the court’s permission to own the car and to ensure its location.
Why Mercedes makes this move now
Sanders, a prospectus of the NFL project, applied for bankruptcy in October 2023, hoping to release more than $ 11 million debt – almost everything owed to one person, John Darge, a security guard at his former Texas school.
Filing bankruptcy to Chapter 7 has caused an automatic stay or holding the effort to collect debt against it. But the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services now claims that it must be eligible for this stay in these circumstances.

“The motor vehicle has been depreciated, the contract is in default, and Movant (Mercedes Benz Financial Services) has been prevented by the automatic stay of the exercise of its reimbursement and elimination of its collateral,” said the Mercedes BENZ. Koktavy.
The records show that the 25 -year -old Sanders has agreed to buy a $ 135,000 car with payments in May 2023, a few months before he applied for bankruptcy. He continued to make payments after applying for bankruptcy, but has recently been unfulfilled, according to the company.
“The debtor (Sanders) pointed out an intention to retain the motor vehicle and confirm its obligation,” the company said. “The debtor has not achieved this intention.”

Shilo Sanders’ debt derives from an incident 10 years ago
The case of bankruptcy of Sanders stems from an incident in 2015, when Dargeon said he had caused him severe and constant injuries while trying to confiscate his phone at school. At that time, Shilo was only 15 years old and said he acted in self -defense and that Darge was the aggressor. But Darjin is suing a scent for damage. And when the case finally went to the Dallas court in 2022, Shilo did not appear, which led to a default decision against him of $ 11.89 million.

Then Silo applied for bankruptcy, hoping for a “new start” without this debt. In response, Dargeon is still struggling to get what is due to this decision and has filed two complaints that seek to prevent debt release.
The submission of Mercedes-Benz this week is coming as Shilo Sanders is preparing for the NFL project later this month. It is unclear if he will be prepared, but even if he is not, he is expected to receive a shot with a NFL team as a free agent.
If the debt is not released from the court, Dargeon could still continue to gather debt against Shilo Sanders in the future. If he is released from the court, Dargeon is likely to collect a small part of the decision he owed to Sand Sanders.
Sanders’ lawyer did not return a comment seeking message.
