warranty coverage selected by Plaintiff.
6. At the time of purchase of the vehicle and the

marked Exhibit "A", attached hereto and made part hereof by
reference.
7. Within the first week after purchase of the
vehicle, Plaintiff noticed that the fuel gauge was not
operating properly and on May 6, 1994, the vehicle was taken

to acknowledge Plaintiff's claim, provide a claim
authorization number or return Plaintiff's telephone call.

NEW MATTER - COUNTERCLAIM
33. Paragraphs 1-32 of defendants answer are incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth.
34. Plaintiff's complaint seeks to recover the I!\um of
$5,089.00, $20.00 and a $3.00 a day storage charge that commenced
on August 11, 1994 from the Defendant, alleging breach of a
contract dated April 25, 1994, for purchase of a warranty for a 24
month/24,0000 automobile warranty. A copy of the contract is
attached as Article 11.
35. Before defendant executed the contract, plaintiff
represented to defendant the following:
a) Plaintiff was the owner of a 1988 Chevrolet truck VIN
12GLDL19Z6J1192580
b) That the vehicle was free of any preexisting defects.
36. The aforesaid representations were false and fraudulent.
Defendant did not know these representations to be false. (see
article 2)
37. By theae false and fraudulent representations plaintiff
induced defendant to enter into the said contract and defendant
justifiably relied upon plaintiff's misrepresentations in 80 doing.
38. As a proximate result of plaintiff'S false and fraudulent
misrepresentations and defendant's justifiable reliance upon same,
defendant has suffered legal fees in the amount of $1000.00 which
amount serves to offset or diminish plaintiff'S claim for recovery.
39. Because plaintiff so engaged in fraudulent
misrepresentations with regard to this contract, plaintiff is
precluded from unjustly enriching himself by here seeking
performance and/or damages under the contract, and plaintiff's
action is barred.
WHEREFORE, Defendant demands that judgment be entered in
his favor and against plaintiff, together with reasonable costs.

Attn: Pat
RE: Jeffrey S. Shultz vs. AA Auto Warranty Corp.
No. 94-5300 Civil Term
Dear Pat:
In July 1995, I had the Prothonotary's Office issue a
Writ of Execution. The matter has been settled and the
prothonotary's Office requested that I have you stay the
previously issued execution and file your return. Therefore,
this letter will serve as notice to stay the execution in the
above matter and a request that you file your return. I am
enclosing a copy of my correspondence with the Prothonotary's
Office concerning this matter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
