JURY TRIAL DEMANDED ON
ALL COUNTERCLAIMS
IN THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
FIRST SELECT CORPORATION,
Plaintiff CIVIL DIVISION
V.
PAUL B. GRIGGS
Defendant
No. 99-7404
ANSWER AND COUNTERCLAIM
AND NOW comes Defendant Paul B. Griggs, by and through his attorneys,
Balaban & Lucas LLP and lodges the following ANSWER AND COUNTERCLAIM to
Plaintiff's Complaint.
ANSWER
DENIED. Defendant is without sufficient knowledge or information at this time
to form a belief as to the truth of the averments contained in paragraph one (1) of
the Complaint. Said averments are therefore denied and strict proof thereof is
demanded at trial.
2. ADMITTED.
3. DENIED. Defendant is without sufficient knowledge or information at this time
to form a belief as to the truth of the averments contained in paragraph three (3) of
the Complaint. Said averments are therefore denied and strict proof thereof is
demanded at trial.
4. DENIED. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
5. DENIED. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
6. DENIED. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
7. DENIED. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
8. NO RESPONSE IS REQUIRED.
9. DENIED. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff bestowed any benefit upon the
Plaintiff, monetary or otherwise. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
10. DENIED. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff bestowed any benefit upon the
Plaintiff, monetary or otherwise. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
11. DENIED. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
12. DENIED. Denied as a conclusion of law. By way of further answer, the
Defendant re-alleges that the Plaintiff provided nothing to the Defendant.
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES
1. LACK OF MEETING OF THE MINDS
1. Plaintiff and Defendant had no business dealings or contacts prior to the
institution of this lawsuit. Plaintiff never agreed to advance credit and Defendant
never agreed to utilize credit.
II. LACK OF CONSIDERATION
2. Plaintiff, in fact, never advanced any credit and did not give anything of value to
support any alleged agreement.
2
III. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION
Plaintiff and Defendant have reached a settlement of this matter in which Joe Adkins
of the Defendant agreed to accept $372.00 per month against the payment of
$7,000.00 in principal balance in satisfaction of the claims set forth in the Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this court dismiss Plaintiff's
Complaint as Plaintiff cannot maintain an action in contract or in quasi-contract without
the elements of bargained for exchange and consideration.
COUNTERCLAIMS
1. FAILURE TO STATE A CAUSE OF ACTION
1. The Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief maybe granted because the
agreement upon which it purports to be based is void and unenforceable as it
violates the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law
(73 P.S. §§201-1 et. seg.).
2. The preprinted form fails to comport with numerous requirements of the Act
including font, type size, headings, and language. Taken as a whole, it is unfair,
fraudulent and deceptive.
11. CIVIL PENALTIES FOR THE AGREEMENT
I. Pennsylvania appellate precedent provides that civil fines and penalties maybe
imposed upon prevailing parties under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices
Act and Consumer Protection Law.
2. The failure of the agreement upon which this action is based to comport with the
standards under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices Act and Consumer
Protection Law make this a proper case for the imposition of such civil penalties.
III. CIVIL PENALTIES FOR ENFORCEMENT
1. To the extent that Plaintiff has actual knowledge through service of this Answer
that the subject agreement fails to comport with the standards set forth in the
Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices Act and Consumer Protection Law,
Plaintiffs continued litigation of this matter, is, itself, an unfair, fraudulent and
deceptive act and is subject to the separate imposition of civil penalties.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests the court to Order the imposition of civil
fines and penalties in the amount of $10,000.00 for Count II and $10,000.00 for Count III
plus attorney fees and costs as provided for in the Penns Ivania Unfair Trade Practices
Act and Consumer Protection Law.
