PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO COMPLAINT
Defendant moves for the dismissal of Plaintiff's Complaint, and as groundg

therefore avers the following:" ; w r- iFr?
an* ..
U
Preliminary Obiection Pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. No. 1028(a)(4)
(Demurrer)
? ca
1. Plaintiff filed a Complaint demanding damages in the amount of
$15,665.50, plus costs, and interest and attorney fees.
2. Plaintiff alleges it is owed certain funds by Defendant for his use of a
credit card.
3. The Complaint fails to attach any agreement between the Defendant and
the Plaintiff, and the agreement would form the very core of Plaintiff's case.
4. The Complaint fails to allege any agreement with the Defendant on the
amounts due or the terms of the agreement, other than one summary of account, so as to
support a theory of an account stated, or to allege how Defendant was unjustly enriched
by the extension of credit.
5. The Complaint fails to provide any documentation or accounting of
charges allegedly made by the Defendant, which would support Plaintiff's claim of
damages, such as a breakdown of charges, payments and interest, so that Defendant could
bring a Motion for Summary Judgment based upon affirmative defenses such as the
Statute of Limitations and/or counterclaims.
Preliminary Objection Pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. Nos 1019(h)and(i) and 1028(a)(3)
(Insufficient Specificity in Pleading)
6. Paragraphs 1 - 5 are incorporated hereinafter by reference hereto.
7. The Complaint contains alleged claims for money owed, but fails to
specifically account for the purported sums outstanding and for the amounts of payments
made.
8. The Complaint fails to be specific as to the allegations of the amount due
and owing, and to state specific services or goods purchased by Defendant.
9. Even if an agreement was implied rather than written, Plaintiff has failed
to specifically plead the date of default and provide an accounting of the amounts paid
pursuant to an implied contract.
10. Plaintiff fails to state specifically how Defendant was enriched by the use
of credit and fails to account for any payments made pursuant to a written agreement, a
contract implied in law, or a theory of unjust enrichment.
11. Defendant is entitled to know how he has been enriched by the provisions
of goods and or services and how payments have been applied to any alleged goods or
services provided.
Preliminary Objection Pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. No. 1028(a)(2)
(Failure to Attach a Writing)
12. Paragraphs 1 - 11 are incorporated hereinafter in reference hereto.
13. The Complaint fails to attach a signed copy of the purported agreement
between the creditor and the Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays that these Preliminary Objections be sustained
and the Defendant's Complaint be dismissed with prejudice.
