IS SERIOUSLY IN DEFAULT because:
A. YOU HAIrE NOT MADE THE MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS for the following

XC179 015 CCM
Page 4
Loan No. 0010782035
IF YOU DO NOT CURE THE DEFAULT - If you do not cure the default within
THIRTY (30) DAYS of the date of this Notice, THE CREDITOR INTENDS TO
EXCERCISE ITS RIGHTS TO ACCELERATE THE MORTGAGE DEBT. This means that the
entire outstanding balance of this debt will be considered due immediately
and you may lose the chance to pay the mortgage in monthly installments. If
full payment of the total amount past due is not made within THIRTY (30)
DAYS, the creditor also intends to instruct its attorneys to start a lawsuit
to foreclosure upon your mortgaged property.
IF THE MORTGAGE IS FORECLOSED UPON - The mortgaged property will be sold by
the Sheriff to pay off the mortgage debt. If the creditor refers your case
to its attorneys, but you cure the delinquency before the creditor begins
legal proceedings against you, you will still be required to pay the
reasonable attorney's fees that were actually incurred up to $50.00. However
if legal proceedings are started against you, you will have to pay all
reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred by the creditor even if they
exceed $50.00. Any attorney's fees will be added to the amount you owe the
creditor, which may also include other reasonable costs. IF YOU CURE THE
DEFAULT WITHIN THE THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY
ATTORNEY'S FEES.
OTHER CREDITOR REMEDIES - The creditor may also sue you personally for the
unpaid principal balance and other sums due under the mortgage. You can not
be sued personally if you have obtained a discharge in a Bankruptcy
proceeding. In that circumstance suit will be for property only.
RIGHT TO CURE THE DEFAULT PRIOR TO SHERIFF'S SALE If you have not cured
the default within the THIRTY {30) DAY period and foreclosure proceedings
have begun, YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CURE THE DEFAULT AND PREVENT THE
SALE AT ANY TIME UP TO ONE HOUR BEFORE THE SHERIFF'S SALE, YOU MAY DO SO
BY PAYING THE TOTAL AMOUNT PLUS A~NY COSTS CONNECTED WITH THE FORECLOSURE
SALE AND A/gY OTHER COSTS CONNECTED WITH THE SHERIFFS SALE AND BY PERFORMING
A-NY OTHER REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE MORTGAGE.
that such a Sheriff's Sale of the mortgaged property could be held would be
approximately NINE (9) months from the date of this Notice. A notice of the
actual date of the Sheriffs Sale will be sent to you before the sale. Of
course, the amount needed to cure the default will increase the longer you
wait. You may find out at any time exactly what the required payment or
action will be by contacting the creditor. If money is due, such payment
payable to the creditor at the address set forth above.
XC180 010 CCM
Page 5
Loan No. 0010782035
EFFECT OF SHERIFF'S SALE DATE - You should realize that a Sheriff's Sale
will end your ownership of the mortgaged property and your right to occupy
it. If you continue to live in the property after the Sheriffs Sale, a
lawsuit to remove you and your furnishings and other belongings could be
started by the creditor at any time.
OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU HAVE - You have additional rights to help protect your
interest in the property.
ASSUMPTION OF MORTGAGE - You may sell or transfer your home to a buyer or
transferee who will asssume the mortgage debt, provided that all the
outstanding payments, charge and attorney's fees and cost are paid prior
to or at the sale and that the other requirements of the mortgage are
satisfied.

Defendant has no objection to this statement.
4. Defendant had attempted to make payments via electronic means and had been
out of the country until June of this year. Below is the synopsis of the efforts made by
the Defendant to tender monthly mortgage payments in a timely fashion:
In late November of 2001, Defendant had signed and mailed complete fomis to
authorize CENLAR to deduct automatically, from Defendant's account with Hawthorne
Credit Union, an amount of $916.32 each month beginning December of 2001. Such
monthly payments are to cover for the monthly installments owed under the terms of the
mortgage. Sufficient funds existed in that account to pay for all monthly payments until
the Defendant's return from overseas travel, which was June of 2002. On or about
Febma_ry 15, 2002, Defendant noticed no funds were being withdrawn from his account.
Defendant attempted to call Plaintiff to rectify the matter. Telephone connections were
poor from overseas and calls were repeatedly disconnected. On each succeeding call,
Defendant was connected with a different service representative; each of those
representatives refused to give their full names and extensions (as a company policy for
security reasons). The Defendant requested for their full names and telephone extensions
in case of further disconnection. Finally, Defendant reached a "Ms. D. Farrauto", who
upon accessing the Defendant's file, acknowledged the receipt of the automatic payment
authorization forms. Ms. Farmuto informed the Defendant that it may be possible to
withdraw the funds retroactively (since the Plaintiff did not yet automatically deduct the
monthly installments beginning December of 2001) and that she would see what she
could do to rectify the situation. She also indicated that penalties could be waived in thi~
situation. Defendant infom:ed Ms. Farrauto of his intended return date at this time and
gave his e-mail address in order for Ms. Farrauto or another servicing agent to confirm
that automatic payments had been set up. Defendant followed up on his phone call with
an e-mail to Ms. Farrauto on that same date. On March 12, 2002, Defend.am again e-
mailed Ms. Farrauto requesting for the status of his account. Defendant received no

deduct the monthly amounts of $916.32. Sufficient funds were available from the entire
period Defendant was om of the country.

IN SUMMARY, the Defendant, JAY ARTHUR FISHER a/k/a JAY A. FISHER, is
requesting the Court to allow the Defendant to settle the account with the Plaintiff. The
Defendant also is requesting the Court not to enter judgment in rem, in favor of the
Plaintiff, and to grant the Defendant a Stay of Foreclosure. The Defendant intends to
seek legal help from an Attorney, to work out a formal agreement with the Plaintiff, in
order to settle the mortgage account. Due to unemployment, Defendant lacks financial
resources and has to f'fle this written response, pro se, in person.
Respectfully submitted,
JAY ARTHUR FISHER, Defendant

are truthful and that, to the best of my knowledge, am not aware that the Mortgage was in

2. The Answering Defendant admits that he is the same individual who

($65,000.00) Dollars.
3. The Answering Defendant admits that the above described Note is secured
by a Mortgage on real property situated at 10akwood Avenue, Township of Upper
Allen, Cumberland County, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
4. The Answering Defendant has not failed to provide to timely make each

(Exhibit A), acknowledging the receipt of the" Automatic Payment form" from the
Defendant. Defendant also attaches copy of email sent to this representative confirming
the conversation (Exhibit B).
5. (a)- (1) The Plaintiff failed to make the automatic monthly
withdrawal due and payable on December 9, 2001 and all subsequent dates listed in the
Response for Admissions, which the defendant had authorized. The Answering
Defendant did not fail to make timely withdrawal of the above mentioned payments.
Sufficient funds were available to the Plaintiff for said withdrawal.
The defendant can authorize the Plaintiff to call the Banking Institution in
question to ascertain whether there were sufficient funds on each of those dates in
question provides balance statement indicating sufficient funds available and that
Plaintiff did not with draw the required monies.
6. The Answering Defendant admits that the mortgage obligation is in
default in retrospect, but does not admit to being the cause of said default. Plaintiff has
failed to make the necessary payment withdrawals on a monthly basis and is the cause
this default. Defendant provided the Plaintiff with the required forms to have the
monthly mortgage payments automatically withdrawn from his checking account
beginning in December 2001. Mortgage would not be in default had the Plaintiff not
failed to automatically deduct the monthly amounts of $916.32. Sufficient funds have
been available for each monthly payment for the entire period cited in paragraph 5.
See paragraph 5.
7. The Answering Defendant has no knowledge, information and belief, that
the figures recited by the Plaintiff in its verified Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure are
accurate and does not admit to the accuracy or correctness of the sum. Therefore the he
has no supporting documents which can confirm or refute the accuracy or correctness of
the sum.
8. The Answering Defendant's has no knowledge as to the accuracy as to
whether Act 6 of 1974 applies to mortgages initially made in the amount of Fifty
Thousand ($50,000) Dollars. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting documents
which can confirm or refute the accuracy or correctness of the sum.
9. The Answering Defendant acknowledges that the initial amount of the
mortgage upon which this foreclosure action is predicated was made in the initial amount
of Sixty Five Thousand and 00/100 ($65,000.00) Dollars
10. The Answering Defendant has no knowledge as to the applicability as to
whether Act 91 of 1983 35 P.S. § 1840.401C merely requires Defendant be sent notices
in accordance with the ACT without requiring actual receipt of those notices. Therefore
the Defendant has no supporting documents which can confirm or refute this.
11. (a) The principal balance is correct.
(b) The Defendant argues that there should be no
beyond that set forth in the orginal mortgage schedule. Additional

interest due to
should not be
(c) The Defendant argues that there should be no late charges due to
the Plaintiff's failure to automatically withdraw the monthly payments. This is the
Plaintiff's failure and late charges should not be considered.
(d) The Defendant argues that there should be no inspection fees as
due to the Plaintiff's failure to automatically withdraw the monthly payments. This is the
Plaintiff' s failure and inspection fees should not be considered.
(e) The Answering Defendant's has no iknowledge as to the accuracy
documents at this time which can confirm or refute the accuracy or as to whether these
figures are accurate. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting correctness of the sum.
(f) The Answering Defendant's has no iknowledge as to the accuracy
of these fees at this time and cannot confirm or refute the accuracy or as to whether these
figures are accurate. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting documents as to
correctness of these sums.
(g) The Answering Defendant's has no knowledge as to the accuracy
or reasonableness of these fees at this time and cannot confirm or refute the accuracy or
as to whether these figures are accurate. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting
documents as to correctness or reasonableness of these sums.
12. The Defendant understands that the Plaintiff wanted an explanation as
to why the Defendant does not think the Plaintiff is entitled to the attorneys' fees.
Liabilities have not been established and, to the best of the Defendant's knowledge, the
Defendant maintains that the Defendant did his best to pay the Mortgage on time while
traveling overseas. It was the Plaintiff's bureaucracy which made it cumbersome for the
Mortgagee, in this case the Defendant, to fulfill his obligation. The Defendant did his
best to make arrangements for automatic withdrawals and the Plaintiff did not withdraw
the monthly sums. The Plaintiff wanted to assess miscellaneous fees in arrears and
attorneys' fees in conjunction with the Mortgage sum due. This is double jeopardy and
the Defendant protests to the methods of assessments. The Plaintiff did not wish to
cooperate and to make it easier for the Defendant to oblige under the terms of the
Mortgage Agreement. Hence, the Defendant is asking the Court for a settlement of this
issue.
13. The Defendant did not allege that the Plaintiff refused to accept monies to
reinstate or pay-off the subject mortgage account. The Defendant simply stated that the
Plaintiff did not make the authorized monthly withdrawals.
14. To the Defendant's knowledge no documents are being withheld from
production. The Defendant does not fully understand the presumptuous statement made
herein by the Plaintiff.
15. See attached verification.

JAY A. FISHER,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY
NO. 02-4027
MEMORANDUM OF LAW
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
This is a residential mortgage foreclosure action. On or
about June 24, 1985, Plaintiff took a mortgage from the Defendant,
Jay Arthur Fisher a/k/a Jay A. Fisher, to secure a loan of Sixty
Five Thousand and 00/100 ($65,000.00) Dollars, evidenced by a Note
of even date. On or about December 1, 2001, Defendant, Jay Arthur
Fisher a/k/a Jay A. Fisher, defaulted on the obligation to maintain
regular payments pursuant to the Note and Mortgage. Plaintiff
elected to exercise its contractual right to accelerate the balance
due on the loan and this action was instituted by the filing of the
Complaint herein on August 23, 2002 (Exhibit "A"; Plaintiff's
Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure).
Defendant, Jay Arthur Fisher a/k/a Jay A. Fisher, filed a
contesting answer on September 23, 2002 (Exhibit "B"; Defendant's
Answer).
In order to better understand the Defendant's position,
Plaintiff served Discovery Requests for Production of Documents and
Things, Admissions and Interrogatories on or about September 23,
2002. (Exhibit "C"; Plaintiff's Discovery Requests). Defendant
Fisher responded to that Discovery, but the papers proffered are,
on their face, unresponsive. Not a single piece of paper has been
produced to support the Defendant's purported defenses to the
Mortgage Foreclosure. (Exhibit ~D"; Defendant's Responses to
Plaintiff's Requests for Discovery).
Plaintiff now moves for Summary Judgment and this Brief is
respectfully submitted in support thereof.
LEGAL ARGUMENT
WHERE NO GENUINE ISSUES OF MATERIAL FACT EXIST AND
PLAINTIFF IS ENTITLED TO JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW,
SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD BE GRANTED.
The purpose of the summary judgment procedure is to prevent
vexation and delay, improve the machinery of justice, promote the
expeditious disposition of cases and avoid unnecessary trials when
no genuine issue of material fact is raised. Specifically, Rule
1035(2) (a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, as
amended, provides in pertinent part:
After the relevant pleadings are closed, but
within such time as not to unreasonably delay
trial, any party may move for summary judgment
in whole or in part as a matter of law
(]_)
whenever there is no genuine issue of any
material fact as to a necessary element
of the cause of action or defense which
could be established by additional
discovery or expert report, or
(2)
if, after the completion of discovery
relevant to the motion, including the
production of expert reports, an adverse
party who will bear the burden of proof
at trial has failed to produce evidence
of facts essential to the cause of action
or defense which in a jury trial would
require the issues to be submitted to a
jury.
PA RCP Rule 1035; Pennsylvania State University v. University
Orthopedics, Ltd., 706 A.2d 863 (Pa. Super 1998); American States
v. Maryland Casualty, 427 Pa. Super. 170, 180, 628 A.2d 880, 885
(1993); Dublin by Dublin v. Shuster, 410 Pa. Super. 1, 5, 598 A.2d
1296, 1298 (1991); Godlewski v. Pars Mfg. Co., 408 Pa. Superior Ct.
425, 597 A.2d 106 (1991); Carrinqer v. Taylor, 402 Pa. Super. 197,
586 A.2d 928 (1990); Consumer Party of Pennsylvania v.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 510 Pa. 158, 507 A.2d 323 (1986);
Williams v. Pilqrim Life Insurance Company, 306 Pa. Super 135, 461
A.2d 833 (1983); Thompson Coal Co. v. Pike Coal Co., 488 Pa. 198,
412 A.2d 46 (1979), Linwood Harvestore, Inc. v. Cannon, 427 Pa.
434, 235 A.2d 377 (1967).
The Rule has been revised to permit this Honorable Court to
grant this Motion for Summary Judgment under two concepts: (1) the
absence of a dispute as to any material fact and (2) the absence of
evidence sufficient to permit a jury to find a fact essential to
the cause of action or defense.
The burden of demonstrating that there is no genuine issue of
material fact rests on the moving party. Hower v. Whitmark Assoc.,
371 Pa. Super. 443, 381 A.2d 524 (1988); Carollo v. 48 Insulation,
Inc., 252 Pa. Super. 422, 381 A.2d 990 (1977); Ducko v. Chrysler
Motors Corporation, et al., 433 Pa. Super. 47, 639 A.2d 1204 (1994);
Santos v. Insurance Placement Facility, 426 Pa. Super. 226, 626 A.2d
1177 (1993), alloc, den. 642 A.2d 487; Marks v. Tasman, 527 Pa.
132, 589 A.2d (1991). In order to demonstrate entitlement to a
summary judgment, the moving party must meet a burden of proof,
described in Laventhol & Horwath v. Dependable Insurance
Associates, Inc., 396 Pa. Super. 553, 558, 579 A.2d 388, 390 (1990),
alloc, den. 593 A.2d 413, 593 A.2d 419, 593 A.2d 420, as follows:
Summary judgment may properly be entered only
if the pleadings, depositions, answers to
interrogatories and admission on file,
together with the affidavits, if any, show
that there is no genuine issue as to any
material fact and that the moving party is
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Pa.
R.C.P. 1035(b). The moving party has the
burden of persuading the court that no genuine
issues exist as to the material facts.
Summary judgment may be entered only where the
case is free from doubt [citations omitted].
In passing upon a motion for summary judgment,
moreover, the court must examine the record in
the light most favorable to the non-moving
party. Any doubt must be resolved against
the moving party.
Once such a showing is made, summary judgment is appropriate
if an adverse party is unable to come forward with probative
evidence. "When the moving party makes out a case for summary
judgment, the adverse party may not claim that the averments of his
pleading alone are sufficient to raise a genuine issue of fact so
as to defeat the motion." The adverse party must set forth
specific facts showing there is a genuine issue for trial. Phaff
v. Gerner, 541 Pa. 146, 303 A.2d 826 (1973); Papev. Smith, 227
Pa. S. 80, 323 A.2d 856 (1974); Amabile v. Auto Kleen Car Wash,
249 Pa. S. 240, 376 A.2d 247 (1977); Fiffich v. GAF Corp., 412
Pa. Super. 261, 603 A.2d 208, 210 (1992.
The pleadings, exhibits and affidavits of the Plaintiff in the
instant case establish conclusively that there are no genuine
issues of material fact and that Plaintiff is entitled to judgment
as a matter of law.
Bo
PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT STATES A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR BREACH
OF CONTRACT JUSTIFYING DISMISSAL OF DEFENDANT'S NEW
MATTER.
Summary judgment based upon contractual liability is
appropriate when the documents are undisputed and there is no
question as to the contracting parties' intent. See, e.g., Paul
Revere Protective Life Ins. Co. v. Weis, 535 F.Supp. 379 (E.D. Pa.
1981); Kane Gas Light & Heating Co. v. Pennzoil Co., 587 F.Supp.
910 (W.D. Pa. 1984). Plaintiff initiated this action in mortgage
foreclosure against the Defendant based upon the mortgage
obligation. In his Answer, Defendant does not dispute the
existence of the documents, that he is a party to each of these
agreements, that they secure the unpaid Note or that payments have
not been made since December 1, 2001. Therefore, since the
Defendant does not dispute the validity or clarity of the
agreements and because the motion relies on written documents which
are fully integrated, signed by the party to be charged and
undisputed as to interpretation, Plaintiff's motion for summary
judgment is appropriate.
Co
PLAINTIFF IS ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF
LAW.
The Defendant's Answer contains a number of general denials to
allegations set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint in Mortgage
Foreclosure. However, as a matter of law in mortgage foreclosure
actions, non-specific denials by an answering party, such as those
"without information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth
of" averments as to amounts of money due and owing, must be
considered "admissions of those facts" See, New York Guardian
Mortgage Corporation v. Dietzel, 362 Pa. Super. 426, 429 (1987 ;
Cercone v. Cercone, 254 Pa. Super. 381, 386 A.2d 1 (1978).
Averments in a pleading to which a responsive pleading
required are admitted when not denied specifically or by necessary
implication. A general denial shall have the effect of an
admission. Pa. R.C.P. 1029(b) . Reliance on Pa. R.C.P. 1029(c)
does not excuse a failure to admit or deny a factual allegation
when it is clear that the pleader must know whether a particular
allegation is true or false. Cercone, supra.. See also:
Commonwealth by Preate v. Rainbow Associates, 138 Pa. Cmwlth. 56,
587 A.2d 357 (1991) (a party may not rely on 1029(c) and be excused
from answering averments based on a lack of information where that
party has sufficient information at their disposal to answer such
allegations). A party seeking to avoid the entry of summary
judgment may not rest upon the mere allegations and denials of his
or her pleadings, but must set forth specific facts by way of
depositions, answers to interrogatories, admissions or affidavits
which establish that there is a genuine issue for trial. Curran v.
Children's Service Center of Wyominq County, Inc., 396 Pa. Super.
29, 578 A.2d 8 (1990), appeal denied, 526 Pa. 548, 585 A.2d 468.
Moreover, in mortgage foreclosure actions, general denials by
mortgagors that they are without information sufficient to form a
belief as to the truth of averments as to the principal and
interest due and owing must be considered an admission of those
facts. New York Guardian Mortgage Corporation v. Dietzel, 362
Pa. Super. 426, 524 A.2d 951 (1987). Further, under Pennsylvania
law, the fact that a mortgagor does not admit to the amount of
indebtedness does not prevent the entry of summary judgment where
it has been admitted that the mortgage is in default. Landau v.
Western Pennsylvania National Bank, 445 Pa. 217, 282 A.2d 335
(1971) .
The Defendant's entire defense consists of unsubstantiated,
unsupported allegations that he was ~out of the country" through
June, 2002, that he had attempted to arrange for ~electronic
payments" during his absence, and that for reasons irrelevant to
this motion, those efforts failed. The pleading filed by the
Defendant, however, is dated September 23, 2002. More than seven
(7) months have passed since that date, and the Defendant has done
nothing whatsoever to bring the account current, establish the
whereabouts of the purported electronic payments, discover why the
purported payments were never received by CENLAR, etc. The
statements set forth in the Defendant's Answer are an explanation
of his default, not a defense to the Mortgage Foreclosure. At
any time during these ensuing months, the account could have been
brought current.
Plaintiff served Discovery Requests for Production of
Documents and Things, Admissions and Interrogatories on November 4,
2002, in order to better understand the Defendant's position. While
the Defendant filed a Response
respectfully submits that,
establishing a true defense
to the Discovery, Plaintiff
were the Defendant capable of
to this suit, or even support his
assertions, those proofs would have been and should have been
appended to his responses to Plaintiff's Requests for Production of
Documents and Things. No papers, not a single shred of evidence,
were produced by this Defendant. His response to Discovery was
nothing more than a restatement of the explanation set forth under
his ~Answer" to the pending Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure.
Further, the Defendant asserts that he did not know that the
mortgage was in default. Plaintiff submits that the Defendant was
in the sole and obvious position to be the only party, apart from
Plaintiff, to have that knowledge. He could have investigated the
mortgage status at any time. Again, the fact that Plaintiff gave
him an opportunity to address the default, which he elected to
waive, does not give rise to a defense to the Mortgage Foreclosure.
It is clear from a review of the Defendant's Answer to
Plaintiff's Complaint that the he has no defense to the material
allegations of this case.
In this instance the material facts are not in dispute.
Defendant's efforts to interject discussions of the parties do not
rise to the level of a defense to the obligation under the loan
documents. Therefore, because neither the Answer nor his
responses to Plaintiff's Discovery substantiate any claim or
defense to the obligations of the Note and Mortgage, there is no
proper basis to deny the entry of summary judgment in mortgage
foreclosure.
CONCLUSION
For all of the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff respectfully
requests that this Honorable Court grant its motion for summary
judgment and enter judgment in mortgage foreclosure in its favor
and against the Defendant, Jay Arthur Fisher a/k/a Jay A. Fisher,
in the amount of $70,312.30, plus interest at the per diem rate of
$17.27 from December 1, 2001 until the date of judgment.

Page 4
Loan No. 0010782035
IF YOU DO NOT CURE THE DEFAULT - If you do not cure the default within
THIRTY (30) DAYS of the date of this Notice, THE CREDITOR INTENDS TO
EXCERCISE ITS RIGHTS TO ACCELERATE THE MORTGAGE DEBT. This means that the
entire outstanding balance of this debt will be considered due immediately
and you may lose the chance to.pay the mortgage in monthly installments. If
full payment of the total amount past due is not made within THIRTY (30)
DAYS, the creditor also intends to instruct its attorneys to start a lawsuit
to foreclosure upon your mortgaged property.
IF THE MORTGAGE IS FORECLOSED UPON - The mortgaged property will be sold by
the Sheriff to pay off the mortgage debt. If the creditor refers your case
to its attorneys, but you cure the delinquency before the creditor begins
legal proceedings against you, you will still be required to pay the
reasonable attorney's fees that were actually incurred up to $50.00. However
if legal proceedings are started against you, you will have to pay all
reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred by the creditor even if they
exceed $50.00. ~_ny attorney's fees will be added to the amount you owe the
creditor, which may also include other reasonable costs. IF YOU CURE THE
DEFAULT WITHIN THE THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY
ATTOP~NEY'S FEES.
OTHER CREDITOR REMEDIES - The creditor may also sue you personally for the
unpaid principal balance and other sums due under the mortgage. You can not
be sued personally if you have obtained a discharge in a Bankruptcy
proceeding. In that circumstance suit will be for property only.
RIGHT TO CURE THE DEFAULT PRIOR TO SHERIFF'S SALE - If you have not cured
the default within the THIRTY (30) DAY period and foreclosure proceedings
have begun, YOU STILL HA\~ THE RIGHT TO CURE THE DEFAULT AND PREVENT THE
SALE AT ANY TIME UP TO ONE HOUR BEFORE THE SHERIFF'S SALE, YOU MAY DO SO
BY PAYING THE TOTAL AMOUNT PLUS _ANY COSTS CONNECTED WITH THE FORECLOSURE
SALE AND ANY OTHER COSTS CONNECTED WiTH THE SHERIFFS SALE ~ND BY PERFORMING
ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE MORTGAGE.
E~-£~LiES? POSSZELE SHERZ£F~S Di~TE - iL is esSim5n.~! cleat Lhe earliest dare
that such a Sheriff's Sale of the mortgaged property could be held would be
approximately NINE (9) months from the date of this Notice. A notice of the
actual date of the Sheriffs Sale will be sent to you before the sale. Of
course, the amount needed to cure the default will increase the longer you
wait. You may find out at any time exactly what the required payment or
action will be blz contacting the creditor. If money is due, such pa%~ent
must be in cash~ .cashier's check, certified check or money order made
payable to the creditor at the address set forth above.
XC180 010 CCM
Page 5
Loan No. 0010782035
EFFECT OF SHERIFF'S SALE DATE - You should realize that a Sheriff's Sale
will end your ownership of the mortgaged property and your right to occupy
it. If you continue to live in the property after the Sheriffs Sale, a
lawsuit to remove you and your furnishings and other belongings could be
started by the creditor at any time.
OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU HAVE - You have additional rights to help protect your
interest in the property.
ASSUMPTION OF MORTGAGE - You may sell or transfer your home to a buyer or
transferee who will asssume the mortgage debt, provided that all the
outstanding payments, charge and attorney's fees and cost are paid prior
to or at the sale and that the other requirements of the mortgage are
satisfied.

* TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO OBTAIN MONEY TO PAY OFF THE MORTGAGE DEBTOR.

CIVIL ACTION -- RESPONSE TO ABOVE-REFERENCED COMPLAINT

24th of June, 1985.
Defendant has no objection to this objection.
(e)
(f)
Defendant has no formal records as to the dates when the Mortgage was
sold from Colonial Mortgage Service Company to Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) to GMAC Mortgage Corporation to
CENLAR; however, Defendant has no objection to this paragraph herein.
Defendant has no objection to this statement.
4. Defendant had attempted to make payments via electronic means and had been
out of the country until June of this year. Below is the synopsis of the efforts made by
the Defendant to tender monthly mortgage payments in a timely fashion:
In late November of 2001, Defendant had signed and mailed complete forms to
authorize CENLAR to deduct automatically, from Defendant's account with Hawthorne
Credit Union, an mount of $916.32 each month beginning December of 2001. Such
monthly payments are to cover for the monthly installments owed under the terms of the
mortgage. Sufficient funds existed in that account to pay for all monthly payments until
the Defendant's return from overseas travel, which was June of 2002. On or about
February 15, 2002, Defendant noticed no funds were being withdrawn from his account.
Defendant attempted to call Plaintiff to rectify the matter. Telephone connections were
poor from overseas and calls were repeatedly disconnected. On each succeeding call,
Defendant was connected with a different service representative; each of those
representatives refused to give their full names and extensions (as a company policy for
security reasons). The Defendant requested for their full names and telephone extensions
in case of further disconnection. Finally, Defendant reached a "Ms. D. Farrauto", who
upon accessing the Defendant's file, acknowledged the receipt of the automatic payment
authorization forms. Ms. Fan'auto informed the Defendant that it may be possible to
withdraw the funds retroactively (since the Plaintiff did not yet automatically deduct the
monthly installments beginning December of 2001) and that she would see what she
could do to rectify the situation. She also indicated that penalties could be waived in this
situation. Defendant informed Ms. Fan'auto of his intended return date at this time and
gave his e-mail address in order for Ms. Fan'auto or another servicing agent to confirm
that automatic payments had been set up. Defendant followed up on his phone call with
an e-mail to Ms. Farrauto on that same date. On March 12, 2002, Defendant again e-
mailed Ms. Farrauto requesting for the status of his account. Defendant received no
reply. To the best of the Defendant's knowledge, there was no other correspondence
received by the Defendant from the Plaintiff until after his arrival back in this country,
that being the Notice of Foreclosure, served on September 3, 2002.

4. The Answering Defendant has not failed to provide to timely make each
and every monthly payment due and owing on the obligation which is the subject of this
mortgage foreclosure action.
The Plaintiff has failed to timely withdraw automatically, as provided in
the Plaintiff's own form submitted to the Plaintiff by the Answering Defendant, and to
which the Plaintiff has acknowledged receipt, each and every monthly payment due.
Defendant attaches copy of notes from a conversation with representative of the Plaintiff
(Exhibit A), acknowledging the receipt of the" Automatic Payment form" from the
Defendant. Defendant also attaches copy of email sent to this representative confirming
the conversation (Exhibit B).
5. (a)-(1) The Plaintiff failed to make the automatic monthly
withdrawal due and payable on December 9, 2001 and all subsequent dates listed in the
Response for Admissions, which the defendant had authorized. The Answering
Defendant did not fail to make timely withdrawal of the above mentioned payments.
Sufficient funds were available to the Plaintiff for said withdrawal.
The defendant can authorize the Plaintiff to call the Banking Institution in
question to ascertain whether there were sufficient funds on each of those dates in
question provides balance statement indicating sufficient funds available and that
Plaintiff did not with draw the required monies.
6. The Answering Defendant admits that the mortgage obligation is in
default in retrospect, but does not admit to being the cause of said default. Plaintiff has
failed to make the necessary payment withdrawals on a monthly basis and is the cause
this default. Defendant provided the Plaintiff with the required forms to have the
monthly mortgage payments automatically withdrawn from his checking account
beginning in December 2001. Mortgage would not be in default had the Plaintiff not
failed to automatically deduct the monthly amounts of $916.32. Sufficient funds have
been available for each monthly payment for the entire period cited in paragraph 5.
See paragraph 5.
7. The Answering Defendant has no knowledge, information and belief, that
the figures recited by the Plaintiff in its verified Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure are
accurate and does not admit to the accuracy or correctness of the sum. Therefore the he
has no supporting documents which can confirm or refute the accuracy or correctness of
the sum.
8. The Answering Defendant's has no knowledge as to the accuracy as to
whether Act 6 of 1974 applies to mortgages initially made in the amount of Fifty
Thousand ($50,000) Dollars. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting documents
which can confirm or refute the accuracy or correctness of the sum.
9. The Answering Defendant acknowledges that the initial amount of the
mortgage upon which this foreclosure action is predicated was made in the initial amount
of Sixty Five Thousand and 00/100 ($65,000.00) Dollars
10. The Answering Defendant has no knowledge as to the applicability as to
whether Act 91 of 1983 35 P.S. § 1840.401C merely requires Defendant be sent notices
in accordance with the ACT without requiring actual receipt of those notices. Therefore
the Defendant has no supporting documents which can confirm or refute this.
11. (a) The principal balance is correct.
(b) The Defendant argues that there should be no accrued interest
beyond that set forth in the orginal mortgage schedule. Additional interest due to
Plaintiff's failure to automatically withdraw the monthly payments should not be
considered.
(c) The Defendant argues that there should be no late charges due to
the Plaintiff's failure to automatically withdraw the monthly payments. This is the
Plaintiff's failure and late charges should not be considered.
(d) The Defendant argues that there should be no inspection fees as
due to the Plaintiff's failure to automatically withdraw the monthly payments. This is the
Plaintiff's failure and inspection fees should not be considered.
(e) The Answering Defendant's has no knowledge as to the accuracy
documents at this time which can confirm or refute the accuracy or as to whether these
figures are accurate. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting correctness of the sum.
(f) The Answering Defendant's has no knowledge as to the accuracy
of these fees at this time and cannot confirm or refute the accuracy or as to whether these
figures are accurate. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting documents as to
correctness of these sums.
(g) The Answering Defendant's has no knowledge as to the accuracy
or reasonableness of these fees at this time and cannot confirm or refute the accuracy or
as to whether these figures are accurate. Therefore the Defendant has no supporting
documents as to correctness or reasonableness of these sums.
12. The Defendant understands that the Plaintiff wanted an explanation as
to why the Defendant does not think the Plaintiff is entitled to the attorneys' fees.
Liabilities have not been established and, to the best of the Defendant's knowledge, the
Defendant maintains that the Defendant did his best to pay the Mortgage on time while
traveling overseas. It was the Plaintiff's bureaucracy which made it cumbersome for the
Mortgagee, in this case the Defendant, to fulfill his obligation. The Defendant did his
best to make arrangements for automatic withdrawals and the Plaintiff did not withdraw
the monthly sums. The Plaintiff wanted to assess miscellaneous fees in arrears and
attorneys' fees in conjunction with the Mortgage sum due. This is double jeopardy and
the Defendant protests to the methods of assessments. The Plaintiff did not wish to
cooperate and to make it easier for the Defendant to oblige under the terms of the
Mortgage Agreement. Hence, the Defendant is asking the Court for a settlement of this
issue.
13. The Defendant did not allege that the Plaintiff refused to accept monies to
reinstate or pay-off the subject mortgage account. The Defendant simply stated that the
Plaintiff did not make the authorized monthly withdrawals.
14. To the Defendant's knowledge no documents are being withheld from
production. The Defendant does not fully understand the presumptuous statement made
herein by the Plaintiff.
15. See attached verification.

Please understand that the issue at stake concerns a lawsuit initiated by the
Plaintiff asking the Court for a Mortgage Disclosure. THE HEART OF
THE MATTER IS NOT CONCERNING THE PRIVATE LIFE OF THE
DEFENDANT IN THIS CASE. WHAT THE PLAINTIFF IS
REQUESTING IN THIS PARAGRAPH REFLECTS A DEMAND FOR
PRIVATE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEFENDANT'S
TRIP. FACTS ARE VERIFIABLE AND THE PLAINTIFF WILL
TESTITFY UNDER OATH THAT THE PLAINTIFF WAS OUT OF
THE COUNTRY FROM MID-NOVEMBER OF 2001 UNTIL EARLY
JUNE OF THIS YEAR.
None presented. This can be verified upon written request to the Bank
from the Plaintiff and written authorization from the Defendant.
IN SUMMARY, the Defendant, JAY ARTHUR FISHER aJk/a JAY A. FISHER,
is requesting the Court to allow the Defendant to settle the account with the Plaintiff.
The Defendant also is requesting the Court not to enter judgment, in favor of the Plaintiff,
and to grant the Defendant a Stay of Foreclosure.
Respectfully submitted,
