ANSWER
For his answer to the above-captioned Complaint, Defendant,
Dennis E. Highlands, states the following:
1. Denied. Defendant is without sufficient knowledge to admit or
deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 1 of the Complaint.
2. Denied in part. The Complaint fails to state a time period it
alleges that Defendant held and used the card and no accounting is
attached indicating what Plaintiff alleges are the relevant times and
indicating any basis for the charges alleged to be the amount owed.
Strict proof is demanded at trial.
3. Denied in part. The terms and conditions that the Plaintiff
alleges attached to the card are not attached to the Complaint. Defendant
is unable to admit or deny this allegation because he does not know
exactly what conditions Plaintiff alleges attached to the card at the time of
use.
4. Denied in part. Plaintiff has failed to attach Exhibit "A" so
Plaintiff does not have enough information to admit or deny the
Allegations contained in Paragraph 4 of the Complaint.
5. Denied in part. Plaintiff has failed to attach :Exhibit "A" to the
Complaint which allegedly states the basis of the calculation of the
amount demanded in the Complaint.. Without this exhibit,
Defendant does not have enough information to admit or deny
the allegation as to the amount of the alleged debt.
6. Denied. The Complaint fails to identify the account in the
Complaint or by Exhibit. Therefore, Defendant does not have sufficient
Information to admit or deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 6 of
the Complaint.
7. Admitted in part. It is admitted that Defendant made a
payment on a credit card believed to be the subject of this Complaint.
However, the account has not been identified in the Complaint or by
Exhibit. Accordingly, Defendant is unable to admit or deny the
Allegations contained in the Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Defendant request this Honorable Court to dismiss
the Complaint in the above matter.
Sincerely,
Defendant
