Complaint filed (Tufano as defendant)
American Express National Bank filed a second collection action, C037, against Tufano, about a month after C031.
Defendant's motion filed
Tufano filed a Motion to Dismiss and Preliminary Objections in C037, asserting improper service (by mail, not personally), a business-only credit line, no missed payments in years, and that American Express breached the agreement by abruptly lowering his credit limit. No docket activity has occurred since.
Defendant's answer and jury demand
Tufano filed an Answer and jury-trial demand in C031, asserting the credit line was for business use only and that American Express changed/lowered his available credit without notice, which he characterizes as a breach forcing him to scale back his business. No docket activity has occurred since.
