Derr, Esquire and bring(s) and file(s) the within Preliminary Objections to Complaint, averring in support thereof as follows: OBJECTIONS TO CONTRACT CLAIMS 1. The Complaint references a credit agreement or contract. 2. No averment is made as to whether said agreement is oral, or written. 3. The foregoing amounts to a violation of Pa. R.C.P. §1019(h), as amended, which requires that, "When any claim or defense is based upon an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or written." 4. Accordingly, the Complaint is the proper subject of preliminary objections pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2) for violation of rule of court 1019(h). 5. Although the Complaint references a credit agreement or contract, no copy of the agreement or contract is attached thereto. 6. The foregoing amounts to a violation of PA. R.C.P. §1019(1). 7. Accordingly, the Complaint is the proper subject of preliminary objections pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. §1028(a)(2) for failure to conform to Rule of Court 1019(i). OBJECTIONS DIRECTED TOWARD LACK OF SPECIFICITY 8. Pa. R.C.P. 1019(f) requires, inter alia, that items of special damage be pled with specificity. 9. In the context of a credit card case, items of special damage, which are to be specifically pled, include the dates and amounts of charges, fees, fines, interest, and the like. 10. In the context of a credit card case, the requirements of 1019(f) are normally met by attaching copies of an un-interrupted chain of credit card statements, starting with a zero balance and ending with a statement showing the amount sought in the complaint. 11. It is respectfully submitted that the neither the Complaint, nor the documents attached thereto, specifically plead the items of special damage underlying the case. 12. This renders the Complaint the proper subject of preliminary objections, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2), for failure to conform to Rule of Court 1019(f), and the proper subject of preliminary objections, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(3) for insufficient specificity. WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully prays that the Complaint filed by the Plaintiff be dismissed with prejudice, or, in the alternative that the complaint be stricken, and the Plaintiff be required to plead over in accord with the Rules of Court.
