Cause/Case No. ( 2011-773 )
Gerald M. Coleman ("Defendant"), hereby answers the complaint of
Bank of America (FIA card service) ("Plaintiff') for it's self alone as follows and generally
denies the allegations due to the complaint based on lack: of information and belief.
First Affirmative Defense
"(Agreement to Arbitrate)
The credit card agreement may state that disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration.
Defendant elects to have all disputes related to the credit card agreement resolved by binding arbitration."
Second Affirmative Defense
"(Amount in Dispute)
The account balance claimed by plaintiff is not accurate and the total amount that is owed, if any,
is in dispute."
Third Affirmative Defense
"(Financial Hardship)
Due to a serious financial crisis, defendant does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount
of the undisputed debt, if any.
In 2008 I had shoulder surgery, knee surgery in 2009. also construction became very, slow and we were
working 3-4 days a week. I fell behind on my payments and could not get caught back up. Since that
time in Aug. 2009 I hired Freedom Debt center (debt talk) to help me through my issues. I am currently
making payments of 975.00 a month and making progress in getting things paid off. It will take a little
time til I have things caught up and back on track.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that:
1. Plaintiff takes nothing by way of his complaint; and
2. For Defendant's costs of suit.
