Complaint
1. Plaintiff is CITIBANK, N.A. with place of business located at 701 East 60th Street
North, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
2. Defendant is Joyce Draper who resides 6260 Run Cross Lane, Enola, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
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
Citibank (South Dakota), N.A., by means of a credit card account (hereafter the Account) with
account number ending in 0774.
5. Citibank (South Dakota), N.A. merged into Citibank, N.A. in or about July 2011.
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 $9,972.86 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 $9,972.86, and
the costs of this action.

Answer to Petition to Open Default Judgment
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. After a reasonable investigation plaintiff is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief to the truth of the averment. The allegation is denied pursuant to
1029(c).
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. No response required.
7. Denied. There would be no unfairness to defendant by the judgment remaining in place
since defendant's proposed answer (Attached as Exhibit A to defendant's petition to open)
contains only explicit admissions and general denials with demands for strict proof. Under Pa. R.
C. P. 1029, defendant's pleading thereby admits all of the complaint averments resulting in there
being no genuine issue of material fact. The proposed answer admits the complaint, and thereby
fails to constitute a meritorious defense to plaintiff s action.
WHEREFORE, respondent respectfully requests this Honorable Court to deny the
defendant's petition to open default judgment.
