*** FILED: BROWARD COUNTY, FL BRENDA D. FORMAN. CLERK 12/3/2018 1:38:34 PM.****
5. In this case, Bank of America, N.A. is the original creditor who opened an account and
issued the extension of credit(the “Account’”) to the Defendant , and the Defendant thereafter
used or authorized the use of the account.
6. In addition, Plaintiff filed The application, Terms and Conditions from Bank of
America, N.A. and account statements evidencing this account in the name of the Defendant,
BURLEY RASHOD KNOWLES III, and addressed to him (Attached hereto as Exhibit “B”).
There are no unresolved disputes or objections on the account
7. Furthermore, Plaintiff has filed Payment copies in the Defendant’s name in support of
the allegations raised in Plaintiff's Complaint. (Attached hereto as Exhibit “C”)
8. Thus, the recorded indisputably evidences that a credit account existed between the
Defendant and Bank of America, N.A.
9. The undisputed evidence in the case at bar has established that a credit account existed
between the Plaintiff and Defendant. That statements were regularly rendered to Defendant and
addressed to him. There are no unresolved disputes or objections on the account. Thus, all
elements of the claim of account stated have been met, and no genuine issue of material facts
remain.
10. Itis respectfully submitted that Plaintiff is entitled to a Summary Judgment. See
Muller vs. Muller, 205 So. 2d 558 (Fla. 2d DCA 1967); Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 1.510.
If it appears to the trial court that an asserted claim is without merit under law and nothing could
be accomplished by submitting immaterial issues to a jury, then a Summary Judgment should be
granted. See Hardcastle vs. Mobley, 143 So. 2d 715 (Fla. 3d DCA 1962).
See also, Reflex, N.V. vs. Umet Trust, 336 So. 2d 473 (Fla. DCA 1976), Connoly vs.
Sebco, Inc, 89 So. 2d 482 (Fla. 1956), wherein the Court held that mere paper issues will not
avoid a Summary Judgment when Plaintiff states a cause of action and Defendant(s) is/are
unable to rebut the allegations contained herein. See also, Muller vs. Muller, 205 So.2d 558
(Fla. 2d DCA 1967).
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter a Summary Judgment
in its favor and against Defendant(s), BURLEY RASHOD KNOWLES IIL, in the principal sum
of $5,718.24 together with court costs, and any other relief which this Court may deem just and
proper.

new Balance Transfers and Cash Advances): This balance is figured by adding the outstanding balance
(including new Balance Transfers and Cash Advances and deducting payments and credits) for each day
in the current billing cycle, together with the balances for each day in the previous billing cycle for balance
transfers and cash advances with transaction dates in the previous cycle and posting dates in the current
cycle, and then dividing by the number of days in the current billing cycle.

YOUR CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AND YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR OTHER MOBILE DEVICES
Smart phones, some tablets or other mobile devices (a "mobile device") can download, store, and/or access
account information, for instance through a mobile wallet, that may enable you to use the mobile device to
purchase goods or services, make a balance transfer, or make a cash advance.
In certain instances, those transactions will replicate using your card to make a transaction on the internet
with your computer. In other instances, the phone or mobile device will act as if it were a credit card itself.
Applications that enable your mobile device will have unique terms governing those applications. Read them
carefully, Transactions made through those applications are governed by this Agreement.
When your credit card account information is accessible by your mobile device, it is important that you treat
your mobile device with the same care you would your credit card. For example, you should secure your mobile
device against unauthorized access. Keep in mind, if you give someone your phone, or other mobile device, that
can be the same as giving that person your credit card.
TRANSACTIONS MADE IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES
If you make a transaction in a foreign currency (including, for example, online purchases from foreign
merchants), the transaction will be converted by Visa International or MasterCard International, depending,
on which card is associated with this account, into a U.S. dollar amount in accordance with the operating
regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the transaction is processed. Currently, those
regulations and procedures provide that the currency conversion rate to be used is either (1) a wholesale
market rate or (2) a government mandated rate in effect one day prior to the processing date. The currency
conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or
posting date.
INTEREST AND FEES
INTEREST RATES - ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES (APRs)
This section provides the interest rates, also referred to as corresponding Annual Percentage Rates (APRs),
which are applicable to your account. The APR corresponds to the Daily Periodic Rate (DPRs): the APR is equal
to the DPR multiplied by 365, and the DPR is equal to the APR divided by 365. Interest charges are calculated
by using the DPR. If a rate is a variable rate, we calculate that APR by adding together an index and a margin.
For more information on variable rates, please refer to the How to Calculate Variable Rates section within this
Agreement.
Promotional Rates and Fees
Promotional or Introductory Offers are temporary APRs (Promotional or Introductory Rates) or transaction fees
(Promotional or Introductory Fees) that are offered on certain qualifying new transactions for a specified period
of time. Each Offer will be assigned a unique Offer ID which will appear on your credit card statement after the
first qualified new transaction for that Offer. If you revolve your balance to take advantage of a Promotional or
Introductory Offer, all transactions and balances, including purchases, will be charged interest.
Your account has the following Introductory Offers:
Purchases:
Introductory Offer ID: FGL9-T@CHK
