Haag, is an adult individual currently residing at 422F North 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 sales representative about obtaining the loan on the account of her grandfather, John Haag. 6.

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 truck, or John Haag could send the money to Belco Community Credit Union and 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.

Defendant should have reasonably expected to have to repay Plaintiff the $22,000.00. 33. It would be inequitable for Defendant to receive the benefit of $22,000.00 still owed to Plaintiff. 34. Defendant had used the $22,000.00 to her advantage and to the disadvantage of the trust. 35. Plaintiff is entitled to collect the $22,000.00 under the doctrine of unjust enrichment.

Plaintiff provided $22,000.00 to Belco reasonably relying upon the 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.
