Enola Drive, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
3. On or about November 2009, Defendant, Lisa S. Haag, wanted to purchase a
truck and sought a loan from Belco Community Credit Union to accomplish the
same.
4. By all accounts, Defendant, Lisa S. Haag, did not qualify for the loan she sought.
5. On November 16, 2009, Defendant, with her father, Charles Haag, spoke with a

8. Defendant communicated with John Haag, then Trustee of the Plaintiff, John
Haag Revocable Living Trust Agreement dated January 8, 2004, and advised
him that he could either simply gift Defendant the money outright to purchase the

establish an account there which would act as collateral for the loan to
Defendant, Lisa S. Haag.
9. John Haag, then Trustee of the Plaintiff, John Haag Revocable Living Trust
Agreement dated January 8, 2004, contacted Belco Community Credit Union to
apprise Belco of the Trust's wishes.
10. Thereafter, John Haag, then Trustee of the Plaintiff, John Haag Revocable Living
Trust Agreement dated January 8, 2004, sent check # 1058 along with a cover
letter dated November 17, 2009, in the amount of $22,000.00 to be used as loan
collateral for Defendant, Lisa S. Haag's, contemplated loan. (A copy of the
check, letter and express mail receipt is attached hereto, made part hereof and

13.A discussion ensued between Defendant, Lisa S. Haag, Charles Haag, her
father, and Belco, wherein Charles Haag, for whom Belco held a Power of
Attorney, issued by John Haag, instructed Belco to issue a check for the
purchase of the vehicle in lieu of making the loan.
14. Defendant knew that her father, Charles Haag's direction to Belco was in direct
opposition to her grandfather, John Haag's, express direction to Belco and

26. By reason of Defendant knowing the history of the $22,000.00 and by unilaterally

breached her contract with Plaintiff.
27. Defendant is in default to her obligation to Plaintiff.

representations of Defendant regarding the necessity of the money as collateral
to secure a loan to Defendant.
40. Defendant's representations pertaining to the loan were false.
41. Defendant has refused Plaintiffs numerous demands for return of the
aforementioned $22,000.00 and thus has evidenced her intent to exercise control
over the aforementioned $22,000.00 belonging to Plaintiff.
42. Defendant has deprived Plaintiff of possession of Plaintiff's property, namely the
$22,000.00, despite the fact that Defendant has no right to the money.
43. The actions of the Defendant, which are described more particularly herein, were
thought out and/or taken willfully with the result being an interference with
Plaintiff's right to its property, namely the aforementioned $22,000.00.
44. Restated, but for the aforementioned actions of the Defendant, Plaintiff would
either have retained its $22,000.00.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant, in the amount of $22,000.00 plus
costs of suit and whatever other relief this Honorable Court deems necessary and just.
