International Bank of Commerce to garnish Bart Reagor’s bank accounts for $23 million owed

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A bank that loaned millions to Bart Reagor and his bankrupt auto group is now garnishing his bank accounts.

International Bank of Commerce is asking a Lubbock County Court to collect more than $23 million from four banks. It’s filed against Bart Reagor’s accounts at Lubbock National Bank, AIM Bank, Wells Fargo and Prosperity bank.

In the request, IBC cited an April 2020 judgment against financial portions of the Reagor-Dykes Auto Group and Bart Reagor.

That $23 million judgment is still gaining interest at more than nine percent a year, according to IBC bank, since it hasn’t been paid in full.

IBC finds Reagor doesn’t have the assets to cover the rest of the debt, so the bank will receive court-ordered payments from his accounts. The 99th District Court approved garnishment at all four banks last week.

In November 2020, a federal court ordered the US Marshals to collect nearly $50 million from Reagor’s property on behalf of Ford Motor Credit.

This all follows the 2018 collapse of the Reagor-Dykes Auto Group following findings of massive financing fraud throughout the dealership network.

The creditor’s trust, established by the bankruptcy estate last year, is working to help about 1,400 customers who have had tax, title, and license issues over the past couple of years. Consumer notices were sent to those who purchased a vehicle from RDAG during specific times.
