VARIABLE RATE INFORMATION
We will use the following variable rate formula for variable
Standard Rates, variable Default Rates and variable
Promotional Rates. All variable rates are calculated by
adding together an index and a For each variable
rate, the applicable margin is disclose above in the section
titled, Annual Percentage Rates.
variable rates is 5.25% and was determined on June 30,
2008.
?u
An increase or decrease in the index will cause a
corresponding increase or decrease in your variable rates on
the first day of our billing cycle that begins in the same
month as the de ermination date. An increase in the index
means that you will pay higher periodic rate finance
charges and have a higher Total Minimum Payment Due. If
The all Street Journal does not publish the U.S. Prime
e, or i c anges the definition of the U.S. Prime Rate,
we may, at our sole discretion, substitute another index.
CALCULATION OF PERIODIC RATE FINANCE
CHARGES
We calculate Periodic Rate Finance Charges by multi lying
each Balance Subject to Finance Charge by its app cable
DPR and that result by the number otdays in the billing
cycle. When Periodic ate Finance Charges accrue on a
Balance Transfer, Cash Advance or Purchase balance, those
finance charges become part of that respective Balance
Transfer, Cash Advance, or Purchase balance.
BILLING CYCLE
Your billin cycle ends each month on a Closing Date
determinedy us. Each billing cycle begins on the day after
the Closing Date of the previous billing cycle. Each monthly
statement reflects a single billing cycle.
WHEN PERIODIC RATE FINANCE CHARGES BEGIN
Each new Balance Transfer and Cash Advance begins to
accrue Periodic Rate Finance Chas on its transaction
date. Balance Transfer and Cae'h Advance balances
remai from previous billing cycles accrue Periodic Rate
Finance har a from the first day of the billing cycle. The
transaction date for Check Cash Advances and Balance
Transfers made by check is the date the check is first
deposited or cashed. The transaction date for a Returned
Payment is the date that the corresponding payment posted
to your account.
Unless subject to a Grace Period, each new Purchase begins
to accrue kriodic Rate Finance Chars on its transaction
date or the first day of the billing cycle, whichever date is
later. Unless subject to a Grace Period, Purchase balances
remainin from previous billing cycles accrue Periodic Rate
Finance Charges from the first day of the billing cycle.
When aplicable, Periodic Rate Finance Charges accrue
daily and- compound daily on new balances, and balances
remaining from previous billing cycles, Periodic Rate
Finance Charges will continue to accrue even though you
have paid the full amount of any related balances because
we include any accrued but unpaid finance charges in the
calculation of each Balance Subject to Finance Charge.
Your Payment Due Date will be at least 20 days from your
statement Closing Date.
GRACE PERIOD
You do not have a Grace Period for Balance Transfers or
Cash Advances. You will have a Grace Period on new
Purchases, in a billing cycle in which you Pay in Full from
the day after the Pay in Full date until the end at that
billing cycle. You will have a Grace Period for an entire
billing cycle on new Purchases and on Purchase balances
remaining from previous bill cycles if you Pay in Full by
the PaymentDue Date in tha iliing cycle and if during
previous billing cycle you Paid in Frall.

However, if the available credit on this account is greater

Overlimit Fee.) We may permit or refuse to permit an
overdraft protection transfer that would cause you to exceed
the credit limit on this account; but if we permit it, you may
be assessed an Overlimit Fee during the billing cycle in
which the transfer occurs. This overdraft protection feature
will automatically be cancelled if this account is closed by

DEFENDANT'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO
PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Cinemagic, by and through her attorneys Dethlefs-
Pykosh Law Group, LLC, by Michael J. Pykosh, Esquire, who files his Preliminary Objections
to the Plaintiff's Complaint, and avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff filed suit against Defendant alleging that Defendant owes money to Plaintiff
arising out of an account issued by MBNA America, N.A. Comp. ¶ 1 and 4.
2. The Complaint was filed on October 27, 2011.
First Preliminary Objection- Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(x)(4)- Demurrer
3. The Plaintiff has failed to allege facts sufficient to maintain a cause of action for Breach of
Contract.
Second Preliminary Objection- Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(3)- Insufficient Specificity
9. The Complaint contains only a general assertion of the amount the Plaintiff claims is owed
by the Defendant. It provided no detail as to the date(s) on which the debts were incurred,
the amounts incurred on each date, the dates or amounts of payments, nor dates of accrual
and amounts of interest charges and other fees.
10. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019 and Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(3) require that the above detail be included
in a Complaint of this type.
11. By not including the requisite detail of the account, the Complaint fails to conform to an
express rule of Court.
Third Preliminary Objection- Pa. R.C.P. 1028(x)(5)- Plaintiff is stranger to Defendant
12. Pa. R.C.P. 2002(a) required that an action be brought by the real party in interest.
13. By failing to attach a copy of the necessary writing by which the Plaintiff would become
the assignee of the account and thus the real party in interest or an agency agreement, the
Plaintiff has failed to conform with the requirements of the aforesaid rule.
14. Plaintiff has not shown standing or capacity to sue Defendant.
15. Since this matter was not brought by the real party in interest it must be dismissed.
Fourth Preliminary Objection- Pa.R:C.P. No. 1028(x)(2)- Failure to conform to rule of
court (failure to attach written assignments of debt)
16. The Plaintiff is not the original creditor, but rather an alledged assignee of the original
creditor. Comp. ¶ 1 and 3. Since the Plaintiff's right to maintain an action as an assignee is
predicted upon written assignment or agency agreement, that writing must be attached to
the Complaint, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1019(i).
17. By failing to attach a copy of the assignment of the debt to the Plaintiff, the Complaint does
not comply with an express rule of court, in violation of Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2). See Remit
Corporation v Miller 5 Pa. D&C 5th 43 and Capital One Bank v. Clevenstine, 7 Pa. D&C
5th 153,
Fifth Preliminary Objection- Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2) Failure to Conform to Law or Rule of
Court
18. Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2), a party may file a Preliminary Objection based upon the
failure of a pleading to conform to law or rule of court or inclusion of scandalous or
impertinent matter.
19. Plaintiff's Complaint is based upon a contract.
20. Plaintiff asserts a cause of action based upon an account stated theory of recovery.
21. An account stated theory of recovery is not applicable in credit card cases. Capital One
Bank (USA) NA v Cleverstine 7 Pa. D&C 5th (Ct. Corn. Pl. Centre Ctv 2009). JMMM
