How to Avoid Paving Interest on PurchasesLGrace Period"1
It you, paid the Now nce on your previous billing stoma a mrt by the Payment Due Data shown on that billing statement, we
will not impose interest charges on new Purchases or any portion of a new Purchase, paid by the Payment Due Date on your
current billing statement. New Purchases are Purchases that first appear on the current billing statement.
How 1Ne Apolv Paymerds Mw Impact Your Grace Period
It youl ddao not pay your ew once to each month, en, depending on the balance to which we apply your payment,
you may not get a grace period on new Purchases.
Now We CaWob Interest Charges Daly Balcince "ad (inducting current transactions): We calculate interest charges
each billin period by first figuring the "daily balance" for each Transaction Category. Transaction Cateeggorsrries include
standard Purchases, standard Cash Advances and different promotional balances, such as Balance Trori s.
How We Fig" dw Daily Salience for Each Transaction Category
We start with the beginning balance for each day. The beginning balance for the first day of the billing period is
your balance on the last day of your previous billing period
We add any interest charges accrued on the previous day's daily balance and any new transactions and fees. We
add any new transactions or fees as of the later of the Transaction Date or the first day of the billing period in
which the transaction or fee posted to your Account.
We subtract any new credits and payments.
We make other adjustments (including those adjustments required in the "Paying Interest" section).
How We Figim Your Total bared Charges
We multiply the clai?y balance for each Transaction Category by its daily periodic rate. We do this for each day in
the billin period. This gives us the interest charges for each Transaction Category. To get a daily periodic rate,
we divide the APR that applies to the Transaction Category by 365.
We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for the billing period.
How We Inc" Fees
We odd Balance Transfer Fees to the applicable Balance Transfer Transaction Category. We add Cash Advance
Fees to the applicable Cash Advance Transaction Category. We add all other fees to the standard Purchase
Transaction Category.
Subject to bowed Rent. Your statement shows a Balance Subject to Interest Rate. It shows this for each
hen on category. The Balance Subject to Interest Rote is the average of the daily balances during the billing
period.
Credit Balances. If your Account has a credit balance, Rre amount is shown on the front of your billing statement.

Defendant(s) Brief
OBJECTIONS TO CONTRACT CLAIMS
- ?a
The Complaint references a credit agreement or contract. 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). Although the Complaint references a credit agreement or contract, no
copy of a signed agreement or contract is attached thereto. The foregoing amounts to a
violation of Pa. R.C.P. 1019(i). 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).
Furthermore, as in Commonwealth Financial Systems v. Hartzell, 2010 WL 5943551 (Pa. Com. PI.
Oct. 19, 2010), the Court held that "[P]laintiff has not provided any indication that the terms set
forth in the card agreement with the copyright date of [2010] contains the identical terms and
conditions agreed upon by the [D]efendant (when application was made) or whether the
[D]efendant had accepted these updated terms." Without averment or proof of the agreed
upon terms there are no contractual terms for the Court to enforce and thus there is a genuine
issue of fact for this case to be tried by the Court. Further, the failure to produce the original
Card Member Agreement establishes a valid defense to the action. Accordingly, Plaintiff's
inability to produce the original Card Member Agreement or state why the original agreement
cannot be provided creates a genuine issue of material fact or law and thus Plaintiff's Motion
for Summary Judgment muse: be denied.
OBJECTIONS DIRECTED TOWARD LACK OF SPECIFICITY
Pa. R.C.P. 1019(f) requires, inter alina, that items of special damage be pled with specificity.
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. 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. Furthermore as in Citing Marine Bank,
25 Pa. D. & C.3d at 267-69. A "defendant is entitled to know the dates on which individual
transactions were made, the amounts therefore and the items purchased to be able to answer
intelligently and determine what items he can admit and what items he can contest."
Defendant received a copy of a Card Member Agreement, but it is a generic card member
agreement, not an agreement dated from at least October 13, 2006, upon which is the date
listed on the first statement of Exhibit 1. The generic Card Member Agreement is dated January
11, 2011.
Plaintiff states defendant: is in default by failing to make monthly payments. Plaintiff has
failed to prove defendant has personally made any payments on the Discover Credit Card.
Moreover, nowhere in Ms. Szycygiel's Verification does the plaintiff set forth that the
business records the plaintiff bases information upon was transmitted by a person with
personal knowledge. Ms. Szycygiel does not identify herself as the custodian of the business
records, nor does she identify by name or otherwise the type of person working for the
business who had firsthand knowledge of the charges and initially received, recorded, or
transmitted the information that ultimately appeared on the credit card statements. Rather,
the verification merely sets Forth that she is authorized to make a verification not that she
personally reviewed the financial information concerning the Discover credit card in question
and is personally familiar with the records, electronic date and account specific information
belonging to Discover. Ms. Szcyzgiel's verification appears to be made upon information and
belief, offered for the truth of the matter asserted, and therefore constitutes hearsay.
The Complaint references that DB Servicing Corporation is the servicing affiliate for Discover
Bank, f/d/a Greenwood Trust Company, an FDIC-insured Delaware State Bank. According to the
statements in Exhibit 1, payments for Discover credit cards are sent to Charlotte, NC. Ms.
Szycygiel is associated with DB Servicing Corporation in Columbus, OFI.
It is respectfully submitted that neither the Complaint, nor the documents attached thereto,
specifically plead the items of special damage underlying the case. 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, the plaintiff has failed to meet its burden of proof and summary judgment
should be denied.
Respectfully Submitte

This letter is to confirm the receipt of a packet containing statements from November,
20o6 to April, 2012 and a copy of a Card Member Agreement with a copyright date of
2011, five years after the date on the first statement. A signed Card Member Agreement
has not been produced, or whether this particular Card Member Agreement was even in
effect during the time the charges were allegedly incurred. The agreement submitted by
the Plaintiff for consideration is nothing more than a generic card member agreement,
which does not provide any relationship relating to the contract allegedly entered into.
There has been no explanation as to why the initial Card Member Agreement had not
been produced, or whether, this particular Card Member Agreement was even in effect
during the time the charges were incurred. The agreement submitted by the Plaintiff for
consideration by the Court is nothing more than a generic card member agreement,
which does not provide any relationship relating to the contract allegedly entered into.
Without averment or proof of the agreed upon terms there are no contractual terms for
the Court to enforce and thus there is a genuine issue of fact for this case to be tried by
the Court. Further, the failure to produce the original Card Member Agreement
establishes a valid defense to the action. Accordingly, Plaintiffs inability to produce the
original Card Member Agreement or state why the original agreement cannot be

Objection: Lacks foundation and is presumptive, as it incorrectly assumes facts not in evidence,
specifically that defendant ever "requested", "received" and "used" a credit card "provided" by stated
creditor and received alleged monthly statements.
#4
OBJECTION. Lacks foundation and is presumptive, as it incorrectly assumes facts not in evidence,
specifically that defendant ever "requested", "received" and "used" a credit card "provided" by stated
creditor.
#5
OBJECTION. Lacks foundation and is presumptive, as it incorrectly assumes facts not in evidence,
specifically that defendant ever "requested", "received" and "used" a credit card "provided" by stated

DENIED to the extent that the existence of the credit card referenced (and the referenced account
connected thereto) has not been established as fact. Therefore, no such obligation on the part of the
defendant exists.

DENIED to the extent that monthly statements are after the fact and do not constitute "agreement." They constitute a
recitation of alleged charges, and interest applied at a rate previously agree to. Since plaintiff has not produced the
"contract" to which they refer in this request, defendant denies any such agreement.

DENIED to the extent that monthly statements are after the fact and do not constitute "agreement." They constitute a

"contract" to which they refer in this request, defendant denies any such agreement.
