Grundon, by and through her legal counsel, MidPenn Legal Services, and files these PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT, and in support thereof avers the following: 1. Plaintiff is Capital One Bank (USA), 15000 Capital One Drive, Richmond,VA 23238. 2. Defendant is Mary K. Grundon(hereinafter "Defendant") 3. Plaintiff filed its complaint on or about March 2, 2009. 4. Plaintiff claims that it is owed a balance on account for $5, 058.56 for use of its credit card. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION PURSUANT TO PA. R.C. P. No. 1028(a) (4)) (Demurrer) 5. Paragraphs 1 through 4 of Defendant's Preliminary Objections are hereby incorporated by reference hereto. 6. Plaintiff does not allege that there was any agreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant, merely an application for a credit card. 7. Plaintiff attaches only one billing statement which billing statement does not even agree with the amount sought in the complaint. Said statement does not indicate, in any way, that Defendant agreed to the terms relating to balance, interest rates, or method of calculating the balance due. 8. Absent such allegations, Plaintiff fails to adequately state a cause of action. WHEREFORE, Defendant prays that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with prejudice for failure to state a cause of action. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION PURSUANT TO PA. R. C. P. No. 1028(a)(3) (INSUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY IN A PLEADING) FOR FAILURE TO PROPERLY PLEAD ITEMS OR TIME, PLACE AND SPECIAL DAMAGES 9. Paragraphs 1 through 8 of Defendant's Preliminary Objections are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth herein. 10. Plaintiff claims that it is owed a balance of an account in the amount of $5058.56 and attaches as support thereof one monthly billing statement in an amount other than that prayed for. 11. This billing statement fails to specify any agreements of the parties, terms and conditions of the agreements, amendments to the agreements, or the Defendant's request for products, goods or services. 12. Pa. R. C. P. No. 1019(f) requires that averments of time, place and special damages shall be specifically stated. 13. Plaintiff's general assertion of damages therefore is in violation of Pa. R. C. P. No.1019(f) and renders Defendant unable to properly defend this action. WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice for insufficient specificity in a pleading. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION PURSUANT TO PA. R. C. P.No.1028(a)(2) and No.1019(i)(FAILURE OF PLEADING TO CONFORM TO LAW OR RULE OF COURT) FOR FAILURE TO ATTACH A WRITING 14. Paragraphs 1 through 13 of Defendant's Preliminary Objections are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth herein. 15. Plaintiff bases its claims against Defendant on an application for a credit card and one billing statement. 16. The application is not attached to Plaintiff's complaint. Plaintiff has failed to attach any credit agreements made or signed by Defendant. 17. The billing statements are not attached to the comlaint that would show a proper balance due. 18. No agreements between the parties are attached to the complaint. 19. Pursuant to Pa.R.C. P.No. 1019(i), when a claim is based upon a writing, the pleader must attach a copy of that writing or provide explanation for its absence. 20. To the extent that any credit agreements between Defendant and Plaintiff are written, Plaintiff's Complaint fails to comply with Pa. R. C. P. No. 1019(i) in that Plaintiff has failed to attach to its Complaint a copy of any such written agreements or any explanation for the absence thereof. WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice for failure to conform to a law or rule of court.
