ANSWER OF DEFENDANT cx~
Defendant JASON PIERRE answers the Complaint of CHASE BANK USA, N.A. as follows: Vl :~
1. The Defendant admits that he was the holder of a Chase credit card, but is without sufficient
information, knowledge or legal knowledge to admit or deny the remaining allegations of paragraph 1 of the
Complaint, and therefore denies said allegations. Further, the Defendant does not ever recall having been permitted
to use Chase's "credit facilities."
2. The Defendant admits that he used the credit card, but is without sufficient information or
recollection to admit or deny the remaining allegations of paragraph 2 of the Complaint, and therefore denies.
Further, the Defendant demands a copy of the purported agreement and proof that he did in fact agree to said terms.
The Defendant admits that he accepted goods, merchandise and/or services through the use of the
credit card, but is without sufficient information or recollection to admit or deny the remaining allegations of
paragraph 3 of the Complaint and therefore denies said allegations. Further, the Defendant demands a complete
accounting reflecting all charges and credits to the account. Plaintiff has failed to produce an accounting.
4. The Defendant is without sufficient information or recollection to admit or deny the allegations of
Paragraph 4 of the Complaint and therefore denies said allegations. Further, Defendant demands a complete
accounting reflecting all charges and credits to the account. Plaintiff has failed to produce an accounting.
The Defendant denies the allegations of Paragraph 5 of the Complaint in that the Defendant has
never refused to pay on any part of his debt.
6. The Defendant is without sufficient information or recollection as to the date of his last use of the
credit card, and so without further proof of such he therefore denies the allegations of paragraph 6 of the Complaint.
Further answering:
7. The Plaintiff has an affirmative duty to prove the amount of the debt. If the Plaintiff cannot prove
the amount of the debt, this matter should be dismissed with prejudice.
8. The Plaintiff has an affirmative duty to prove that the Defendant agreed to the alleged terms and
Page 1 of 3
conditions, and therefore should be required to provide proof that the Defendant intentionally and knowingly
assented to the alleged terms and conditions.
9. The Defendant's hours and pay at work were both cut down, which put him in a difficult financial
situation. The situation was made worse when the creditors raised the interest rates, thereby increasing the
minimum payments. This has left the Defendant unable to keep up with his bills.
10. Defendant desires to avoid bankruptcy and urgently wants to pay his debt. However, he needs
additional time to do so.
WHEREFORE the Defendant requests:
1. That the relief prayed by the Plaintiff be denied;
2. That the Plaintiff be required to provide a complete accounting reflecting all charges and credits to
the account. If the Plaintiff cannot provide such an accounting, then this case should be dismissed with prejudice;
3. That the Plaintiff be required to provide proof that the Defendant intentionally and knowingly
assented to the alleged terms and conditions.
4. That the Plaintiff be requested to work with Defendant and give him more time to pay the debt.
5. That the Plaintiff be awarded no attorney's fees or cost of suit;
6. That no derogatory information appear on the Defendant's credit record as a result of this law suit;
and,
7. That the Court awards such other and further relief as the nature of this case may require.

The Defendant verifies that the statements made herein are true and correct based upon his knowledge,
information and belief. The statements are made subject to the penalties of 18 Pa. C.S. Section 4904, relating to
