COUNTERCLAIMS
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Denied. As more fully set out in New Matter, Affirmative Defenses, and
Counterclaim below, Plaintiff wrongfully cancelled Defendant's contract and prevented
him from fulfilling his obligations under the said contract.
5. Denied. As more fully set out below, Plaintiff is not entitled to attorney
fees and costs.
6. Denied. As more fully set out below, Defendant does not owe Plaintiff any

7. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice and judgment entered for Defendant.
NEW MATTER
8. Paragraphs 1-7 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
9. Defendant filled out an application for training with Plaintiff "on-line,"
on or about February 8, 2006.
10. On or about February 11, 2006, Plaintiff's agent or employee telephoned
Defendant, telling him that Plaintiff would review the application and would call
Defendant the next day.
11. Plaintiff's agent or employee telephoned Defendant the next day to advise
him of the necessity of obtaining a driver's permit, to schedule a training class, and to
expect a contract by fax to be sent to him.
12. Defendant received a blank contract consisting of three pages by fax, filled
out the parts of the contract with his information, and faxed it back to the Plaintiff.
13. At no time, relevant to these proceedings, did Defendant receive either one
or two documents, separate from the contract, entitled "Customer's Right to Cancel," or
any variation thereof, advising Defendant of his right to cancel the said contract.
14. At no time relevant to these proceedings, did Defendant receive a contract
that contained language required by 73 P.S. Section 201-7(b)(1). i.e. language in
immediate proximity to Defendant's signature, in bold-face, ten-point font, dated, and
characterized as "Notice of Cancellation."
15. After a period of training, both in the classroom and over the road, and
after successful testing, both in a simulator and on the road, Defendant began to work for
the Plaintiff hauling freight to different parts of the country, without incident, for a period
of three to four months.
16. In July, 2006, Defendant was involved in a minor accident while on the
job in Texas.
17. Defendant continued to work for the Plaintiff for approximately one more
week, when he was retested, allegedly due to the accident, in Plaintiff s Indianapolis
terminal.
18. Defendant was told that he failed the test and was terminated in mid-July.
19. During this re-testing, Plaintiff s agent asked the Defendant questions
about his national origin and his reasons for being in the United States, all of which was
insulting to the Defendant.
20. Defendant believes, and therefore avers, that he was discriminated against
in this re-testing, and did not fail any test given to him for any legal or appropriate
reason, and should not have been terminated.
21. Defendant was told, during the course of his training and work for the
Plaintiff, that he would receive a bonus of $1,000 for each referral he made to the
Plaintiff.
22. Defendant made three (3) referrals to the Plaintiff and should have received
bonuses totaling three thousand dollars ($3,000).
23. As a result of his improper and discriminatory termination, Defendant lost
net wages in the approximate amount of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) per month for
eight months, for a total loss of Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($16,000).
24. Had Defendant not been improperly terminated, Defendant would have
been able to fulfill his one-year contract with the Defendant and would not owe Plaintiff
anything.
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES
1. Recission - Unfair Trade Practice & Consumer Protection Law
25. Paragraphs 1-24 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
26. The installment contract between the Plaintiff and Defendant was
contracted as a result of, or in connection with, a contact with Defendant at his residence
by telephone.
27. The installment contract was for services with a value in excess of
Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00).
28. Pursuant to 73 P.S. Section 201-7(a) Defendant has the right to rescind the
installment contract within three (3) days following the day on which the contract was
made or the day on which he received duplicate "Notices of Cancellation," as required by
73 P.S. Section 201-7(b)(2).
29. The services Defendant received, in training by the Plaintiff, were no
greater, and may have been less than, the profit that Plaintiff derived by means of
Defendant's employment with Plaintiff.
30. At the time of contract, Defendant was entitled to receive a fully
completed copy of the installment contract showing the date of the transaction, the name
and address of the seller, and, in immediate proximity to the space for Defendant's
signature, in bold-face, ten-pont type font, the language required by 73 P.S. Section 201-
31. Defendant's contract was incomplete when he received it in that it did not
contain the language required by 73 P.S. Section 201-7(b)(1).
32. Plaintiff's failure to provide Defendant with two (2) copies of a "Notice
of Cancellation" at any time relevant to these proceedings violates Pennsylvania's Unfair
Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, 73 P.S. Section 201-7.
33. Since the period of cancellation does not begin to run until the proper
"Notices" have been received, Defendant retains the right to rescind the contract, which,
by his verification of this Answer, by expressing his desire to do so herein and by mail
directed to Plaintiff and counsel, (attached hereto as Defendant's Exhibit "A") does
hereby rescind this contract.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice and judgment entered for the Defendant.
II. Impossibility of Performance
34. Paragraphs 1-33 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
35. Defendant could not complete his obligation on the contract with Plaintiff,
i.e. to work for one year and be excused from payment of the contract sales price,
because Plaintiff improperly terminated his contract of employment.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice and judgment entered for the Defendant.
III. Breach of Contract
36. Paragraphs 1-35 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
37. Plaintiff breached the Installment Contract with the Defendant by
terminating his employment improperly and failing to cancel his obligations under the
contract.
38. Plaintiff breached the contract with the Defendant by failing to pay him
the bonuses he had earned.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands that Plaintiff s Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice and judgment entered for the Defendant.
COUNTERCLAIMS
I. Unconscionability
39. Paragraphs 1-38 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
40. In terminating Defendant's contract without good cause and in a
discriminatory manner, Plaintiff acted unconscionably.
41. In seeking the full amount of the contract versus Plaintiff s actual
liquidated damages, Plaintiff s claims amount to an unconscionable penalty prohibited by
law.
42. Said discrimination and penalty are unconscionable and have caused
Defendant pain and suffering in an unliquidated amount of at least One Thousand Dollars
($1,000).
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands judgment against Plaintiff in an unliquidated
amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), within the amount required for referral to
Arbitration.
II. Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law
43. Paragraphs 1-42 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
44. Plaintiff s attempt to collect this debt, knowing that said contract was
improperly terminated and the debt therefore was not due, violates Pennsylvania's Fair
Credit Extension Uniformity Act at 73 P.S. Section 2270.4(b)(5)(ii), and Pennsylvania's
Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, 73 P.S. Section 201-1 et.seq.
45. Said attempt also violates the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer
Protection Law in that Plaintiff failed to comply with the written guarantee of
employment for the duration of the contract, absent violation of the Rules and
Regulations, (73 P.S. Section 201-2(4) (xiv); and, in a fraudulent and deceptive manner,
improperly terminated Defendant's contract for reasons unrelated to his driving skills.
201-2(4)(xxi).
46. Defendant suffered actual damages in the total amount of $16,000
representing loss of income for 8 months.
47. Plaintiff further misrepresented that Defendant would receive a bonus of
$1000 per referral, resulting in actual damages to Defendant in the amount of $3000
(201-2(4)(xxi).
48. Plaintiff is liable to Defendant for statutory damages pursuant to 73 P.S.
201-9.2 and dismissal of its case for its willful and deliberate conduct.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands judgment against Plaintiff in the total
amount of $19,000, requiring submission to Arbitration, and dismissal of Plaintiff's
Complaint, with prejudice.
III. Breach of Contract
49. Paragraphs 1-48 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
50. In terminating Defendant's contract with the Plaintiff for reasons other
than Defendant's actual performance, Plaintiff has breached the said contract as to the
Defendant.
51. In failing to reward Defendant for sending three referrals to the Plaintiff,
Plaintiff has breached the contract as to the Defendant.
52. As a result of said breach, Defendant has been damaged by the Plaintiff in
the total amount of $19,000.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands that judgment be entered in his favor and
against the Plaintiff in the total amount of $19,000 requiring submission to compulsory
arbitration.

Notice of Cancellation of Contract, dated March 1, 2006
Dear sirs:
Please be advised that that I represent the above-named former student of yours
who, by this notice to you, "hereby cancels this transaction." Mr. Massoudi is taking
this action at this time as is permitted by Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and
Consumer Protection Law, 73 P.S. Section 201-7, due to the fact that he did not receive a
completed form in duplicate of a "Notice of Cancellation" as is required by the Act.
Should you wish to discuss tender of the value of any services already provided to
my client, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your kind attention and
anticipated cooperation.
