COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiffs, Vincent J. LaPorte and Lorraine K. LaPorte, by and
through their attorney, James W. Abraham, Esquire, Abraham Law Offices,
Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, and files the following:
1. Plaintiffs, Vincent J. LaPorte and Lorraine K. LaPorte are adult individuals
who reside at 710 Walnut Run Court, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 17112.
2. Defendants James K. Conway and Patricia M. Conway are adult individuals
who reside at 1103 Dry Powder Circle, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3. On or about June 1, 2003, Defendants signed and entered into a Note
agreement (hereinafter "the Note") to pay Plaintiffs Twenty Five Thousand ($25,000.00)
Dollars, plus interest at seven (70/6) percent annually, amortized over twenty (20) years, in
monthly payments in the amount of $193.82, for the purchase of a commercial rental
property located at 201 York Street, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
(hereinafter "the Property").
4. In accordance with the terms of the Note, said Note was a five (5) year
"balloon" Note in that within five (5) years of June 1, 2003, on or before June 1, 2007,
Defendants were to pay Plaintiffs the balance due on the Note at that time, which balance
was $21,564.48 in accordance with the amortization schedule attached to the Note.
5. On or about May, 2007, Defendants stopped making the aforesaid monthly
payment on the Property and despite Plaintiffs' efforts to contact Defendants regarding
the failure of Defendants to make said payments and despite Plaintiffs' demand for
payment and the filing of a Writ of Summons by Plaintiffs against Defendants, which
Writs were served on Defendants on December 28, 2007, Defendants have refused to
contact Plaintiffs and/or make any of the payments due.
6. Defendants are in breach of the Note in that they have stopped making the
monthly payments in accordance with the Note and Plaintiffs failed to payoff the balance
due on the Note amount of $21,564.48 as of June 1, 2007.
7. Alternatively, in the event Defendant Patricia M. Conway did not sign the
Note, said Defendant has benefited from the ownership of the Property at all relevant
times hereto and both Defendants are jointly and severally liable to Plaintiffs for the
amounts due under the Note.
8. At all relevant times hereto, Plaintiffs have been in full compliance with any
and all terms of the Note and as to any and all matters regarding the Property.
9. The Note provides that in the event Defendant(s) are in default of the Note,
Plaintiffs are entitled to all costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable
attorney fees, to enforce the Note.
10. Plaintiffs' attorney fees as a result of Defendants' breach of the Note are in
excess of Two Thousand Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars, which attorney fees are
continuing.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs' request Your Honorable Court to enter judgment in
favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendants in the amount of $23,000.00 dollars in
compensatory damages, with continuing interest thereon, as well as $2,500.00 in attorney
fees and costs, which fees and costs are continuing.
