3. Plaintiff is a national banking association, engaged in various types of banking
business including consumer lending through the issuance of credit cards.
4. Defendant obtained extensions of credit from Citibank, N.A., successor in interest to

account (hereafter the Account) with account number ending in 2031.
5. Citibank (South Dakota), N.A. merged into Citibank, N.A., effective July 1, 2011, as
approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
6. Accurate records of all debits and credits to the Account were maintained by plaintiff.
7. Defendant was provided with monthly statements for the Account including the billing
statement attached hereto as Exhibit A (redacted to remove confidential information). The
monthly statements accurately stated the previous balance and the debits and credits to the
Account for the prior billing period.
8. Defendant had for many months after receipt of a billing statement made payment on
the Account or retained the statement without payment.
9. Defendant retained the Exhibit A statement without making payment by the stated due
date.
10. Defendant's assent to the Account balance set forth in the Exhibit A statement is
manifested through the prior conduct of defendant either making payment on the Account or
retaining the statement without payment, after receipt of the monthly billing statements.
11. As a result of said assent, an account stated for the sum of $4,070.73 exists which
sum reflects the Exhibit A statement balance less credits, if any, which were applied subsequent
to the date of Exhibit A.
Wherefore, plaintiff demands judgment against defendant for the sum of $4,070.73, and
the costs of this action.
