SAIDIS

LAW
26 West High Street
Carlisle, PA
Pennsylvania under the corporate name Frommco, Inc.
4. Defendant acted as President of Frommco, Inc.
5. On June 1, 2003, Frommco, Inc., executed an installment judgment note
wherein it was agreed that Frommco, Inc. would pay to Williams C. Fromm $97,500.00 with
interest in monthly installments for seven years. See Installment Judgment Note attached
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A.
6. This note represented repayment of funds loaned by Plaintiff to Defendant
for purposes of funding Defendant's various business ventures including Frommco, Inc.,
and the Quizno's franchise.
7. Periodic payments were made by Defendant to Plaintiff towards the
Judgment Note with the first payment being made in January of 2004.
8. The last payment received by Plaintiff towards the Judgment Note was in
August of 2008.
9. In 2008, Defendant and his wife sought to sell the Quizno's franchise and as
part of that sale and were required to obtain a release from Plaintiff in order to complete the
settlement. See e-mail exchange from Defendant dated July 28, 2008 attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit B.
10. Defendant requested that Plaintiff provide the "equipment release" and to
provide him with the terms of the remaining money owed. See Exhibit B.
11. It is believed and therefore averred that Defendant's reference to "the
remaining amount owed" concerned the original Judgment Note that he had executed as
President of Frommco, Inc., in favor of Plaintiff.
12. The only outstanding debt due to Plaintiff from Frommco, Inc., or Defendant
was the original Judgment Note dated June 1, 2003.
13. Defendant indicated that in exchange for the release, he would "begin to
make personal payments on 9/1 as [he has] been doing in the past." See Exhibit B.
14. It is believed and therefore averred that Defendant's statement that he would
begin to make personal payments concerned payments towards the Judgment Note
executed by Frommco, Inc., in favor of Plaintiff.
15. Defendant e-mail amounts to a surety concerning the Judgment Note owed
by Frommco, Inc., to Plaintiff.
16. Payments had been made on the loan and a balance remains of $35,552.71.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demands judgment against Defendant in the amount of
$35,552.71 in addition to interest and costs of suit.
Respectfully submitted,
