71 Sherwood Circle
Enola, PA 17025
1. Plaintiff, NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS ASSG OD BANK OF AMERICA,
(hereinafter "Plaintiff' is a Pennsyvania corpration with a principal place of
business located at 507 Prudential Road, Horsham, PA 19044
True
2. The Defendant Annie A. Krol-knight (hereinafter "Defendant") is an adult
individual residing at 71 Sherwood Circle, Enola, PA 17025
True
3. At all relevant times herein, Plaintiff was engaged in the business of debt
purchase and collection.
Can only assume true
4. Defendant applied for and received a credit card issued by BANK OF
AMERICA with the account number 4800113083835558.
Denied
Card initially applied for was through Bank of America
with an entirely different account number.
5. The within account was sold by BANK OF AMERICA to NCO FINANCIAL
SYSTEMS, INC for valuable consideration and all rights under said accounts
were assigned to NCO FINANCAL SYSTEMS, INC.
Can only assume this is true
This does raise some doubt
6. Use of the BANK OF AMERICA credit card was subject to the terms of the
Cardmember Agreement, a copy of which was sent to the defendant along
with the credit card.
Denied
Original card was under contract with Bank of America for
a different account number, validity of above stated
account is in question - perhaps other peoples balances
were combined into this account
7. Defendant used the BASNK OF AMERICA credit card account number
4800113083835558, for purchases, cash advances and/or balance transfers.
Denied
Again, contract was under another account number, ending
in 3884
8. The Defendant was mailed account statements relative to the Defendant's use
of the subject credit card.
Denied
Have not received any statements in a long period of time
9. The Defendant defaulted under the terms of the Agreement by failing and
refusing to make monthly payments on the account as they became due.
True in part, false in par
Have made payments for quite some time but then
disabilities became a factor and income was reduced
10. The account became delinquent on February 28, 2007.
Denied
Records indicated that payments may have been paid later
than that
11. The amount due and owing was $ 6,141.34 at the time it was received by
Plaintiff.
Denied
My records reflect a balance was much lower that stated
amount by approximately 3,228.50 for another account
number
12. Pursuant to the account agreement, any unpaid balance accrues interest at the
rate of 32.24
Denied
Interest rate seems highly exaggerated
13. The total amount due and owing the Plaintiff including interest is $ 10,689.91.
Denied
Since account switched hands a few times am not sure of
accounting accuracy
This is also in another case as marital debt
14. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Defendant is liable to the Plaintiff for
court costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
Denied
Have not been contacted by phone or in the form of
statements
Cannot believe a creditor would be that insensitive to
harass a disabled person with limited means of income
or force her to chose between shelter, food, and
medications vs a credit card balance (my disabilities
were not in any way intentional on my part as I was the
innocent victim of MVA's)
Verification
The undersigned, Annie A. Krol-knight, hereby states that she is the dependant in this
action and verifies that the statements made in the foregoing pleading are true and correct
to the best of her knowledge, information and belief. There is a debt owed but not that
large of a sum
