The billing statement will show all purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, Finance Charges and other charges or fees and all payments or other credits posted to your Account during the billing period. It will show your New Balance, Payment Due Date and Minimum Payment Due as of the end of the billing period. If your prior month's payment is retuned unpaid, your required. Minimum Payment Due may be higher than shown on your billing statement See the Minimum Monthly Payment section on page 5. Monthly Payment Options. You may at any time pay the entire New Balance shown on your billing statement, but each month you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due as described in the Minimum Monthly Payment section. All payments must be made in accordance with the terms, including the payment cutoff time, stated on your monthly billing statement, and we will credit your Account in accord-ante with those terms. In addition, we reserve the right to change those terms without prior notice as permitted by law. Automatic Billing Arrangements. If your Account number and/or Card expiration date changes and our records indicate you have automatic billing established with a merchant, we will attempt to provide your new Account infomation to that merchant To ensure uninterrupted billing, we recommend that you verily the merchant has your new Account information. You must contact the merchant directly if you do not wish to continue the automatic billing arrangement How We Apply Payments. We will apply payments and credits to the New Balance shown on your current billing statement in order of the Annual Percentage Rate appli-cable to the balance of each transaction category (as referenced in the Finance Charges section), generally from lowest to highest begin-nirg with the balance subject to the lowest Annual Per-tentage Rate. We then apply payments and credits to any new transactions using the same method. However, we have the right to apply payments and credits to balances with higher Annual Percentage Rates prior to balances with lower Annual Percentage Rates, such as when there are two initial special rates applicable to your Account and the lower Annual Percentage Rate will expire before the higher Annual Percentage Rate. Minimum Monthly Payment The Minimum Payment Due each month will be the greater of. • the New Balance if it is less than $15; • $15 if the New Balance is $15 or more; or • any past due amount plus the greater of. 2% of the New Balance (excluding current Periodic Finance Charges, Late and Ovedimit Fees) rounded up to the nearest dollar or cunent Periodic Finance Charges plus Late and Ovedimit Fees plus $15 (not to exceed 3% of the New Balance) rounded up to the nearest dollar. We may also include some or all the amount by which you exceed your Account credit line. If more than 90% of your New Balance consists of special-rate balance transfers, we may, at our discretion, increase your Minimum Payment Due to a maximum of 49/6 of the New Balance if it would otherwise be less than that We may subtract certain fees to calculate the Mini-mum Payment Due. The Minimum Payment Due will never exceed the New Balance. Paying the Minimum Payment Due may be insufficient to bring your Account balance below your Account credit line and, consequently, may not avoid the imposition of an additional Ovedimit Fee described in the Ovedimit Fee section. Skip-A-Payment Offers. We may from time to time allow you to not make a minimum monthly payment and will notiy you when this option is available. If you take advantage of this offer and do not make a minimum monthly payment, finance charges and any applicable fees will accrue on your Account in accordance with this Agreement and you must pay the Minimum Payment Due for the following billing periods. Credit Balances. We will refund any credit balance within seven business days from receipt of your written request If you do not request a refund, we will auto-matically refund credit balances greater than $1 that remain in your Account after 6 months. FINANCE CHARGES How We Calculate Periodic Finance Charges. We begin to impose Periodic Finance Charges on all transactions from the Transaction Date for the transaction as shown on your billing statement, unless a transaction is posted to your Account after the close of the billing period in which it occurs, in which case we begin to impose Periodic Finance Charges on that transaction from the first day of the billing period in which it is posted to your Account We continue to impose Periodic Finance Charges until the date you pay your entire New Balance, by making payments or receiving credits. However, if you paid the New Balance on your previous billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that billing statement and you pay the New Balance by the Payment Due Date on your current billing statement, we will not impose Periodic Finance Charges on new purchases, that is, purchases first appearing on the current billing statement We call this the "grace period." Therd is no grace period on balance transfers or cash advances. We sort your transactions into groups of purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers and then further sort the transactions within each group by their Annual Percentage Rate. For example, purchases subject to a promotional rate and purchases subject to a standard rate would be separate groups. We refer to these groups as transaction categories. At the end of each billing period, we compute balances and Periodic Finance Charges for each day of the billing period for each transaction category. We use the following equation to compute Periodic Finance Charges for each transaction category: (Average Daily Balance) times (days in billing period) times (Daily Periodic Rate). (You may refer to the finance charge summary on your billing statement for these amounts.) Then we add up the Periodic Finance Charges for each transaction category to get the total Periodic Finance Charges for your Account. The Average Daily Balance is shown as zero rf, because of the grace period, no Periodic Finance Charges apply to the balance in a trans-action category. How We Calculate Your Balances. We use the Average Daily Balance (including new transactions) method of calculating the balance upon which we impose Periodic Finance Charges. We compute the Average Daily Balance for each transaction category by adding up all the daily balances in a billing period for a transaction category and dividing the total by the number of days in the billing period. We compute the daily balance for each transaction category on each day by first adding the following to the previous day's daily balance: transactions with a Transaction Date of that day as shown on your billing statement, unless the transaction is posted to your Account after the close of the billing period in which lt occurs, in which case the transaction will be added to the daily balance as of the first day of the billing period in which it is posted to your Account, fees charged that day and Periodic Finance Charges accrued on the previous dads daily balance; and by then subtracting any credits and payments that are applied against the balance of the transaction category on that day. In calculating the daily balance for the first day of the billing period, we consider the 'previous days daily balance' to have been your balance for each transaction category on the last day of your previous billing period. All fees charged to your Account are added to the standard purchase trans-action category with the exception of Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges which are added to the applicable cash advance trans-action category and Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges which are added to the applicable balance transfer transaction category. When the special rate expires, we move the unpaid balance of the balance transfer and the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges to the standard purchase transaction category. However, if the special rate has been terminated under the Default Rate section, we leave the unpaid balance of the balance transfer and the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges in the applicable balance transfer transaction category unfit the special rate would have expired. Variable or Fixed Interest Rates. The Daily Periodic Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate that apply to each transaction category are either fixed rates or variable rates as set forth in your Pricing Schedule or in any special offers you receive from us. The Daily Periodic Rate is 1 /365th of the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate. Variable Annual Percentage Rates are deter-mined by adding a specified number of percentage points to the Prime Rate. This is shown on the Pricing Schedule as "Prime + (per-centage points)." For purposes of this Agreement, the Prime Rate is the highest rate of interest listed as the "prime rate" in the Money Rates section of The Wa/1 Street Journal on the last business day of the month. The Prime Rate is merely a pricing index and does not represent the lowest or best interest rate available to a borrower at any bank at any given time. If you have a variable rate, your Annual Percentage Rate will increase or decrease when the Prime Rate changes. This change will be effective beginning with the first day of the billing period that begins during the same month as the change in the Prime Rate. An increase in the Annual Percentage Rate may increase your Minimum Payment Due. Default Rate. Each tirne you do not make a required payment on time or each time you exceed your Account credit line twice in a twelve month period (each, a "Default Rate Event'), we may increase the standard Annual Percentage Rates for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances to a variable rate equal to the Prime Rate + up to 27.99%, but such rate will never exceed 29.99% (the "Default Rate"). At the same time, any special rates on purchases, balance transfers or cash advances will end and the Default Rate may apply. The maximum Default Rate which would currently apply is set forth in your Pricing Schedule. We will base your Default. Rate on factors such as: • your current APRs • your payment history with us • your general credit history Any increased rate will apply beginning with the first day of the billing period in which (i) we did not receive at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date or (ii) you exceeded your Account credit line for the second time in a twelve month period. If your standard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases was increased under this or any previous version of the Default Rate section and, for any nine consecutive billing periods thereafter another Default Rate Event does not occur, then your Annual Percentage Rate for your new purchases will be reduced to a lesser variable rate which may be higher than your previous standard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases and your Annual Percentage Rate for your existing purchase balance may be reduced to a lesser variable rate which may be higher than your previous standard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases. Any reduced Annual Percentage Rates on new and existing purchases may be different and will apply beginning with the first day of your tenth billing period. However, 'rf a Default Rate Event occurs in the tenth billing period, a Default Rate will apply. Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges. Unless otherwise specified in a cash advance offer, we will charge you a Cash Advance Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE of 3% of the amount of each new cash advance with a minimum Cash Advance Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE of $5 and no maxi-mum. The imposition of Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges may result in an Annual Percentage Rate for cash advances that is higher than the nominal Annual Percentage Rate. All forms of cash advances, including the use of Discover Card checks, regardless of the purpose for which used, are subject to Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges. To obtain the total Finance Charge on cash advances for each billing period, we add any Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges for the billing period charged under this section to any Periodic Finance Charges calculated under the Periodic Finance Charges section for each cash advance transaction category and add up these amounts. Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges. If the balance transfer offer you receive contains a Balance Transfer Trans-action Fee Finance Charge, we will charge you a Balance Transfer Trans-action Fee Finance Charge for the amount of each balance transfer made under that offer. If there is a Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charge in conjunction with the offer you received when you applied for an Account, it will be in the amount set forth in the Pricing Schedule. The imposition of Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges may result in an Annual Percentage Rate for balance transfers that is higher than the nominal Annual Percentage Rate. To obtain the total Finance Charge on balance transfers for each billing period, we add any Balance Transfer Trans-action Fee Finance Charges calculated under the Periodic Finance Charges section for each balance transfer trans-action category and add up these amounts. Foreign Currency Transaction Fee Finance Charges. We will charge you a Foreign Currency Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE of 21/6 of the U.S dollar amount of each purchase made in a foreign currency. The imposition of Foreign Currency Transaction Fee Finance Charges may result in an Annual Percentage Rate for purchases that is higher than the nominal Annual Percentage Rate. To obtain the total Finance Charge on purchases for each billing period, we add any Foreign Currency Transaction Fee Finance Charges for the billing period charged under this section to any Periodic Finance Charges calculated under the Periodic Finance Charges section for each purchase transaction category and add up these amounts. Minimum Finance Charge. We will charge you a minimum FINANCE CHARGE of $50 for any billing period in which Periodic Finance Charges of less than $50 would otherwise be imposed. FEES Annual Fee. If your Pricing Schedule accompanying your Card includes an Annual Fee, we will charge you an Annual Fee in the amount indicated. We will charge you this fee when we open your Account and at the beginning of each anniversary year your Account is open. The Annual Fee is not refundable, except as provided by law. Late Fee. We will charge you a Late Fee if you have failed, as of the Payment Due Date, to make the Minimum Payment Due that was required to be paid for that billing period. The amount of the Late Fee is based on the sum of all outstanding purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, other charges, other fees and Finance Charges at the end of the billing period for which we did not receive timely payment. If the sum is $250 or less, the fee is $19; if lt is greater than $250, the fee is $39. Overlimit Fee. We will charge you an Overimit Fee each time that, as of the close of a billing period, your outstanding Account balance exceeds your Account credit line.

Unless consented to by all parties, no arbitration may be administered by any administrator that has any formal or informal policy, rule or pro-cedure that is inconsistent with or purports to override the terms of this section. If we elect to resolve a claim or dispute by binding arbitration and the arbitrator issues an award in your favor on a claim or claims with respect to which you would not otherwise be entitled to recover your arbitration filing, administrative and hearing fees, reasonable attorneys' fees and/or other arbitration costs, we will be responsible for paying or reimbursing such costs and fees if awarded by the arbitrator.

Send requests to Discover Card, PO Box 30421, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0421. The arbitrator will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying those fees. You will only be responsible for paying or reimbursing our arbitration filing, administrative or hearing fees to the extent you would have been responsible for paying "attomeys' fees and court or other collection costs" had the action proceeded in court In no event will you be required to pay any fees or costs incurred by us in connection with an arbitration proceeding where such a payment or reimbursement is prohibited by applicable law. Hearings and Decisions. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside.

Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the appealing party will pay the cost of the appeal, regardless of its outcome.

The present outstanding balance is $9,357.60 and the reason why is not being paid is due to the lack of funds. You honor the economic situation in the country is at its worse and is no better for me.

For years I have been making my payments to the plaintiff but due to the increase of interest I cannot afford to even make the minimum amount at all. The credit card companies are taking advantage of the economic situation and middle-class hard workers are being hit hard by their actions. Unfortunately I do not have the money to pay my debt to the plaintiff, my income only covers my cost of living, and its impossible for me to pay all my debt owed. I am practically bankrupt and I would really appreciate your understanding and reasonable decision. 9. Agree 10. Defendant should not be held liable for the plaintiffs legal actions. 11. Agree 12.
