JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, Alex R. Szeles, Inc. (Szeles), by and through its counsel, Goldberg Katzman,
P.C., alleges the following in support of this Complaint:
1. Plaintiff is Alex R. Szeles, Inc., a Pennsylvania business corporation with an
address of 945 East Park Drive, Suite 101, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17111-2810.
2. Defendants are Douglas and Vicki Wheeler, husband and wife, adult individuals
with a residence at 3 Clendenin Circle, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025.
3. Prior to October, 2001, Szeles was involved in a restoration project at the Wheeler
home to remove smoke damaged contents from the home; moved the contents to storage; cleaned
the contents; and, store and return the contents to the Wheeler's home upon their notification.
4. Szeles billed the Wheelers $9,381.97 for the services it provided. A copy of an
invoice dated October 31, 2001 is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.
I
5. The Wheelers had insurance coverage through the Arthur Reeher Company which
was to have paid for the incident described above.

received insurance proceeds with which they were to pay Szeles for the services it performed.
7. The Wheelers have tendered no payment to Szeles on the outstanding amount.
8. To date, $9,381.97 is due and owing.
9. While originally invoiced in October of2001, the Wheelers have affirmed that
they owe the debt as late as November, 2004 when they verbally told Szeles that they intended to
pay the outstanding invoice when insurance proceeds arrived.
10. The Wheelers have never provided an explanation or reason as to why they have
failed to pay the debt which they acknowledged owing.
11. Szeles has made demand for the debt on various occasions without satisfaction.
12. The Wheelers have breached their agreement with Szeles, in that Szeles has fully
and completely performed all services it promised to perform for the Wheelers.
13. The Wheelers have breached the contract by failing to pay the amount ofSzeles'
services amount, for which they have been invoiced.
2
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that judgment be entered in favor of Plaintiff
and against Defendants in the amount of$9,381.97, plus pre-judgment interest at the legal rate,
together with all costs associated with the collection of this debt, and whatever other remedy this
