Failure to conform to law or rule of court (Pa.R.C.P. 1028 (a) (2)) · a. Pa.R.C.P. 1019(h) requires that when a claim is based upon an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or written. It is not clear from the Complaint whether Plaintiff is contending that the claim for attorney's fees in paragraph 9 is based upon a written agreement, or upon an oral agreement. b. Pa.R.C.P. 1019(i) requires that when a claim is based upon a writing, the pleader shall attach a copy of the writing. The "Cardholder Agreement" referred to in paragraph 6, and the "written Agreement" referred to in paragraph 7 are not attached to the Complaint. Moreover, the "Loan Sale Agreement" attached as Exhibit 1 appears to be a bill of sale and assignment, and does not make specific reference to the Defendant's account identified in paragraph 3. 2. Insufficient specificity (Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(3))- a. The Complaint does not specifically indicate whether or not the claim identified in paragraph 9 of the Complaint is based upon an oral or written a~reement. b. Exhibit 1 to the Complaint does not contain any reference to Defendant's account identified in paragraph 3 of the Complaint. WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that the Complaint be dismissed, or that Plaintiff be ordered to file a more specific complaint.
