could and would so competently testify thereto.
4. In the ordinary course of business GE Capital maintains or has access to copies of credit agreements
and/or credit card applications entered into between GE Money Bank and its customers enabling such
customers to open and use credit accounts with GE Money Bank. I have reviewed form agreements for
credit programs for which GE Capital refers accounts to attorneys for collection litigation, each of which
provide that the creditor is entitled to recover, to the extent permitted by applicable law, its reasonable
attorney's fees and costs incurred in any action to enforce its rights under the agreement.

made in such computer records only by individuals having personal knowledge (from examining account
documentation) of the information reflected therein and that such entries are made at or near the time the
events reflected in them occurred. It is also the regular practice of GE Capital's business to send monthly
statements to the accountholders of GE Money Bank credit card accounts reflecting the purchases made,
payments received and amounts owing on such accounts.
