seq plaintiff is defined as a creditor,
9, Damages are recoverable for proven breaches of the FDCPA by statutorily defined
third party debt collectors.
10. Even assuming defendant had alleged specific acts and actions, which defendant did
not, plaintiff as a creditor under the FDCP A would not be liable to defendant.
11. The FDCP A does not provide for vicarious or respondeat superior liability,
12. Defendant has failed to plead or attach a copy of the writing from defendant to the
third party debt collector that is required for a request to cease and desist from contacting the
statutorily defined "consumer" under 15 U.S.c. Section l692c (c) to be effective.
1 3 ,Although defendant's counterclaim "wherefore" clause demands punitive damages be
assessed against plaintiff, such damages are not available under the FDCP A as a matter of law.
WHEREFaRE, plaintiff prays the Court determine that defendant's amended
counterclaim is legally insufficient and dismiss it with prejudice under Pa R.C.P. 1028(a)(4).

DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR
JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS
The Defendant, Joseph D. Caraciolo, Pro Se, hereby responds to the motion of the
Plaintiffs for Judgment on the Pleadings pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1034 and avers as follows:
I. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Plaintiffs filed a complaint
naming Defendant, however, it is denied that Defendant owes any money to Plaintiff.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted, however, by way of further answer, Defendant filed a motion to
Amend answer and is awaiting a ruling on the same.
7. Denied. Defendant's denials represent a specific denial of the allegations made in
each averment.
8. Denied. This paragraph represents a conclusion of law to which no responsive
pleading is necessary. However, by way of further answer, Plaintiffs assertion that a specific
denial is an admission is a misinterpretation of current Pennsylvania case law.
9. Denied. There are factual and legal issues before this court. More specifically,
whether this alleged debt exists, whether its communication was made to the Defendant, and
whether Defendant made any appropriate payment.
WHEREFaRE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court deny Plaintiffs
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, or, in the alternative, to grant Defendant leave to file an
amended answer to more specifically deal with Plaintiff's improper reading of Defendant's
answer.
