(USA) ("Plaintiff') for it's self alone as follows and moves this court to bar, stay, or dismiss Plaintiff s claim based on the following: 1. Plaintiff filed a complaint against the defendant for a credit card balance due. 2. Defendant moves this court to compel binding arbitration based on the credit card Credit Card Agreement provided by the Plaintiff 2a. The parties are bound by the Credit Card Agreement to settle disputes by binding arbitration, not by litigation, upon the election of either party. This motion constitutes notice of election by the undersigned to have this dispute resolved by binding arbitration, as provided for in the Credit Card Agreement. 3. Plaintiff has never sought to take the defendant to arbitration 4. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 USC, Section 1-2, provides. 4a. "A written provision in any maritime transaction or a contract evidencing a transaction involving commerce to settle by arbitration a controversy thereafter arising out of such a contract or transaction, or refusal to perform the whole or any part thereof, or an agreement in writing to submit to arbitration an existing controversy arising out of such a contract, transaction, or refusal, shall be valid, irrevocable and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract." 5.

"If any suit or proceeding be brought in any of the courts of the United States upon any issue referable to arbitration under an agreement in writing for such arbitration, the court in which such suit is pending, upon being satisfied that the issue involved in such suit or proceeding is referable to arbitration under such an agreement, shall on application of one of the parties stay the trial of the action until such arbitration has been had in accordance with the terms of the agreement, providing the applicant for the stay is not in default in proceeding with such arbitration."

(USA) ("Plaintiff') for it's self alone as follows and generally denies the allegations due to the complaint based on lack of information and belief. First Affirmative Defense ("Agreement to Arbitrate) The credit card statement agreement states that disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration. Defendant elects to have all disputes related to the credit card agreement resolved by binding arbitration." Second Affirmative Defense "(Amount in Dispute) The amount balance claimed by Plaintiff is not accurate and the total amount that is owed is in dispute." Third Affirmative Defense "(Financial Hardship) Due to a serious financial crisis, defendant does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount of undisputed debt, if any." Defendant was the defendant in a divorce that was final July 2, 2007, Venango County, Pennsylvania. Defendant was required to vacate the marital residence May 1, 2007 and at that time, was earning wages that did not exceed 20% of the wages earned by the plaintiff in the divorce. Defendant became homeless and incurred significant expense to remove belongings form the marital residence. Without any type of support from the plaintiff in the divorce, defendant tried but became unable to make timely credit card payments. Defendant immediately sought more gainful employment but was required to move to accept a better paying position. Moving expenses and the increased cost of living in the region required by the new job placed an even greater financial burden on the defendant. Defendant has been paying all living expenses for herself, with no support of any kind from the plaintiff in the divorce since separation--March 2007. Defendant also provides significant support to her minor child. WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that: 1. Defendant takes nothing by way of this complaint; and 2. For Defendant's costs of suit.

GRESHAM Defendant IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA : 09 - 5779 CIVIL ACTION - LAW PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO MOTION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION Plaintiff, FIA CARD SERVICES, N.A. f/k/a BANK of AMERICA, N.A. (USA), by its counsel Burton Neil & Associates, P.C. hereby answers Defendant's Motion to Compel or so much thereof as is relevant as follows: 1. Admitted. 2. Denied as stated. These allegations are moot because defendant has entered into a payment arrangement with plaintiff s counsel by which she would pay the total sum of $8,032.00 to settle this matter in full. She made the first payment of $4,300.00 by telephone as more fully appears from a true and correct copy of the initial $4,300.00 telephonic check received by plaintiff's counsel on September 22, 2009, which is attached hereto, marked exhibit l and incorporated herein by reference. Defendant agreed to pay the rest of the settlement sum to plaintiff's counsel in monthly installments of $296.00. A settlement agreement to that effect has been prepared and was mailed to defendant on September 22, 2009. A true and correct copy of the settlement agreement that is in circulation is attached hereto, marked exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference. 2a. The credit card agreement, not attached to defendant's motion, is a document speaks for itself. By way of further response, the averments of this paragraph are moot by reason of defendant's having settled this case without resort to common law arbitration. 3. Denied as stated. Plaintiff was never under any obligation to "take defendant to arbitration," as plaintiff believes and therefore avers the arbitration clause in the parties' credit card agreement did not make arbitration mandatory. 4 and 4a. The credit card agreement, not attached to defendant's motion, is a document speaks for itself. By way of further response, the averments of this paragraph are moot by reason of defendant's having settled this case without resort to common law arbitration. 5. Denied. Ninety day reporting as Defendant has requested is not necessary, aside from being moot. To the contrary it is burdensome and contraindicated, as it is clearly in plaintiff's interest to pursue this case, in whatever forum, to recover its unpaid and past due debt. By way of further response, the averments of this paragraph are moot by reason of defendant's having settled this case without resort to common law arbitration. 6. Denied. The language of the cited statutory provision speaks for itself. Any characterization or application of its language by defendant is denied. By way of further response, the averments of this paragraph are moot by reason of defendant's having settled this case without resort to common law arbitration. WHEREFORE, plaintiff agrees that should defendant complete and return the form to initiate arbitration that the case proceed to arbitration. B B37--L ZZ Edward J.
