1 This is an action for damages that are within the jurisdictional limits of this
Court, exclusive of costs.
2 Venue for this action is proper in this Court because the Defendant is a resident
within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court.
3 Plaintiff is a national banking association organized and existing under the laws
of the United States of America and having its principal place of business in Charlotte, North
Carolina.
4 Plaintiff is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation and the
successor-in-interest to FIA Card Services, N.A. ("FIA"), formerly known as MBNA America

5. Defendant is an adult individual residing in this county.
6 Defendant applied for and received a credit account, which is owned and
administered by Plaintiff (the "Account"). Defendant used or authorized the use of the Account
for the acquisition of goods, services, balance transfers or cash advances in accordance with the
customer agreement ("Agreement") governing use of the Account with Plaintiff.
7. Defendant breached the A greement by failing to make periodic payments as
required thereby, and the Account was subsequently charged-off. The entire balance on the
Account is owed to Plaintiff and is presently due and payable in full.
8 The current Account balance is $15,767.53. The Account is not accruing post
charge-off interest.
9 In accordance with federal regulations, monthly periodic statements for the
Account have been provided to the Defendant. Attached hereto and incorporated by reference
herein as Exhibit "I" is Plaintiff's Affidavit. Attached to the affidavit is evidence of the account.

10. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference, the allegations contained in paragraphs
1 through 9 above.
11. Plaintiff asserts that the Defendant's use of the Account to purchase goods and

herein.
E-FILED 03/12/2024 1:09 PM / CONFIRMATION 1442885 / A 2401180 / COMMON PLEAS DIVISION / IFO
13. Additional supporting documents are not attached hereto, because upon
information and belief (a) copies were sent monthly to the Defendant, and are/were in the
possession, custody, or control of the Defendant; (b) said account records may be voluminous
and/or burdensome to produce.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION - UNJUST ENRICHMENT
14, Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference, the allegations contained in paragraphs
1 through 9 above.
15. In the alternative, and without waiving the foregoing, Defendant received and
used (or authorized the use of) the Account knowing that the Plaintiff expected to be repaid for all
charges incurred with the Account.
16. With each use of the credit account, the Plaintiff paid money on Defendant’s
behalf to the merchant with whom the Account was used, advanced cash to the Defendant, or paid
money to transfer balances held by Defendant with other creditors.
17. Defendant is liable for repayment of those sums under the doctrine of unjust
enrichment.
Wherefore, BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., respectfully requests that judgment be entered against
Defendant for:
a. $15,767.53, which is the current balance due;
b All court costs;
Cc. All other relief to which the Plaintiff may be entitled by law.
