CARDMEMBER (S): ASHLEY M ELMORE
STATE OF OHIO
COUNTY OF FRANKLIN
AFFIDAVIT OF ACCOUNT
Sylvia Moore, personally appeared before me, this day and after being duly sworn, according to law, upon my oath and states as follows:
The undersigned is a Litigation Support Coordinator for CAPITAL ONE, N.A., successor by merger to DISCOVER BANK, hereinafter referred to collectively as "CAPITAL ONE, N.A.". CAPITAL ONE, N.A., as well as its wholly-owned servicing subsidiary DISCOVER PRODUCTS INC., is responsible for, among other things, interacting with Discover Card account holders to accept payments and perform other servicing activities on Discover Card accounts.
This affidavit is made on the basis of my personal knowledge, as well as my review of documents held both by CAPITAL ONE, N.A. and DISCOVER PRODUCTS INC., and is submitted in support of the Plaintiff's suit on account against the Cardmember(s).
In my capacity as Litigation Support Coordinator, I have knowledge regarding, and access to, records regarding the Discover Card account of the above referenced Cardmember(s). These records are maintained in the ordinary course of its business, and the records are updated with information on events (such as charges and payments on the account) by individuals with personal knowledge of those events or by automated processes that track such events at or near the time that the events occur. The same systems that record this information also generate periodic statements that are sent to Discover Cardmember(s), and store copies of these periodic statements. In addition, these same record-keeping systems contain information about which version of CAPITAL ONE, N.A.'s terms and conditions have been communicated to an account holder and accepted by an account holder. I have personally inspected the records pertaining to the account of the Cardmember(s), including the last periodic statement sent to the Cardmember(s) by DISCOVER PRODUCTS INC., to ascertain the applicable terms and conditions, the balance due on said account and whether the Cardmember(s) have made payments on that balance. The balance due and owing at the time of the signing of this affidavit, on the account of ASHLEY M ELMORE is $4,486.31, including interest accrued at the rate of 0% after charge off unless and until pre-judgment and/or post-judgment interest is awarded by the court.
According to the records maintained by CAPITAL ONE, N.A. and DISCOVER PRODUCTS INC., during the period of time that account statements were generated, such statements were either provided to the Cardmember(s) electronically or mailed to the Cardmember(s) at the address maintained on file during that time period. According to the records, the last known address associated with the Cardmember(s) is/are:
1943 N LOUISA AVE
SHAWNEE, OK 74804-3629
The account is in default because the Cardmember(s) have not paid the amounts due and owing to CAPITAL ONE, N.A. on the account.
The business records maintained by CAPITAL ONE, N.A. and DISCOVER PRODUCTS INC. and described above, show that the Cardmember(s)' account with CAPITAL ONE, N.A. is governed by terms and conditions referred to as "terms level 30K." A true and correct copy of these terms and conditions have been provided to CAPITAL ONE, N.A.'s counsel in this case.
Exhibit A is a true and accurate copy of the last periodic statement sent by DISCOVER PRODUCTS INC. to the Cardmember(s), retrieved from the record-keeping system described above, and shows the amount that is now due and owing CAPITAL ONE, N.A. on the account.
CAPITAL ONE, N.A. has access to a system of records maintained by the United States Department of Defense, which allows CAPITAL ONE, N.A. to ascertain whether a particular person is engaged in active duty in any branch of the U.S. military. It is the regular practice of CAPITAL ONE, N.A. to query this system with respect to any account holder prior to initiating a collection action against that account holder. CAPITAL ONE, N.A. maintains records in the normal course of its business that indicate the results of that query. Based on my review of the account records applicable to Cardmember(s), to the best of my knowledge and belief the above referenced Cardmember(s) is not engaged in any of the military services of the United States.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Credit Reporting. Credit Reporting. We may report information about your Account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Account may be reflected in your credit report. We normally report the status and payment history of your Account to credit reporting agencies each month.

Paying Interest. Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing period.

If you pay the New Balance on your current billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that billing statement, we will not impose interest charges on New Purchases. New Purchases are Purchases that first appear on the next billing statement. Interest will continue to accrue each day on purchases that appeared on previous billing statements until you pay the New Balance in full and will be billed in the next billing cycle.
How We Calculate Interest Charges. We Use the Daily Balance Method (including current transactions) to calculate the Balance Subject to Interest Rate. For more information, please call us at 1-800-347-2683.
Balance Subject To Interest Rate. Your statement shows a Balance Subject to Interest Rate. It shows this for each transaction category. The Balance Subject to Interest Rate is the average of the daily balances during the billing period.
Credit Balances. If your Account has a credit balance, the amount is shown on the front of your billing statement. A credit balance is money that is owed to you. You may make charges against this amount if your Account is open. We will send you a refund of any remaining balance of $1.00 or more after 6 months, or as otherwise required by applicable law, or upon request made to the address in the Contact Us section on page 3 of your billing statement.
Balance Transfers. Your account may not always be eligible for balance transfers. Balance transfers accrue interest at the standard purchase rate unless we tell you otherwise.

MAKING PAYMENTS
Payment Instructions • You must pay in U.S. dollars. Please do not send cash. Sending cash is not allowed. All checks must be drawn on funds on deposit in the U.S..
• You must pay us for all amounts due on your Account. This includes charges made by Authorized Users.
• We may refuse to accept a payment in a foreign currency. If we do accept it, we will charge your Account our cost to convert it into U.S. dollars.
• We can accept late payments, partial payments or payments marked "payment in full" or with any other restrictive endorsement without losing any of our rights under this Agreement.
Minimum Payment Due You may pay the entire New Balance shown on your billing statement at any time. Each billing period you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date shown on your billing statement. The Minimum Payment Due will be any amount past due plus the greater of:
• $35; or
• 2% of the New Balance shown on your billing statement; or
• $20, plus any of the following charges as shown on your billing statement: fees for any debt protection product that you enrolled in on or after 2/1/2015; Interest Charges; and Late Fees.
The Minimum Payment Due may also include amounts by which you exceed your Account credit line. However, it will never exceed the New Balance. When we calculate the Minimum Payment Due, we may subtract from the New Balance certain fees added to your Account during the billing period. The Minimum Payment Due is rounded up to the nearest dollar.
MAKING PAYMENTS
How We Apply Payments
We apply payments and credits at our discretion, including in a manner most favorable or convenient for us. In all cases, we will apply payments and credits as required by applicable law.
Each billing period, we will generally apply amounts you pay that exceed the Minimum Payment Due to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs as of the date we credit your payment.
INTEREST CHARGES
How We Calculate Interest Charges—Daily Balance Method (including current transactions)
We calculate interest charges each billing period by first figuring the “daily balance” for each Transaction Category. Transaction Categories include standard Purchases, standard Cash Advances and different promotional balances, such as Balance Transfers.
How We Figure the Daily Balance for Each Transaction Category
- We start with the beginning balance for each day. The beginning balance for the first day of the billing period is your balance on the last day of your previous billing period.
- We add any interest charges accrued on the previous day’s daily balance and any new transactions and fees. We add any new transactions or fees as of the later of the Transaction Date or the first day of the billing period in which the transaction or fee posted to your Account.
- We subtract any new credits and payments.
- We make other adjustments (including those adjustments required in the “Paying Interest” section).
How We Figure Your Total Interest Charges
- We multiply the daily balance for each Transaction Category by its daily periodic rate. We do this for each day in the billing period. This gives us the interest charges for each Transaction Category. To get a daily periodic rate, we divide the APR that applies to the Transaction Category by 365.
- We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for the billing period.
- Due to rounding or a minimum interest charge, the interest calculation may vary from the interest charge actually assessed.
How We Include Fees
We add Balance Transfer Fees to the applicable Balance Transfer Transaction Category. We add Cash Advance Fees to the applicable Cash Advance Transaction Category. We add all other fees to the standard Purchase Transaction Category.
Paying Interest
When Interest Charges Begin
We begin to impose interest charges on a transaction, fee or interest charge from the day we add it to the daily balance. We continue to impose interest charges until you pay the total amount you owe us. You can avoid paying interest on Purchases as described below. However, you cannot avoid paying interest on Balance Transfers or Cash Advances.
How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases (“Grace Period")
If you pay the New Balance on your current billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that billing statement, we will not impose interest charges on New Purchases. New Purchases are Purchases that first appear on the next billing statement. Interest will continue to accrue each day on Purchases that appeared on previous billing statements until you pay the New Balance in full and will be billed in the next billing cycle.
How We Apply Payments May Impact Your Grace Period
If you do not pay your New Balance in full each month, then, depending on the balance to which we apply your payment, you may not get a grace period on new Purchases.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Default
You are in default if:
- you file bankruptcy or another insolvency proceeding is filed by you or against you;
- we have a reasonable belief that you are unable or unwilling to repay your obligations to us;
- you die or are legally declared incompetent or incapacitated;
- you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any Agreement with us or an Affiliate, including failing to make a required payment when due, exceeding your Account credit line or using your Card or Account for an illegal transaction.
If you are in default, we may declare the entire balance of your Account immediately due and payable without notice.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Purchases and Cash Advances in Foreign Currencies
If you make a Purchase or Cash Advance in a foreign currency, we will convert it to U.S. dollars using a rate we choose. This rate will either be a government-mandated rate, a government-published rate or the interbank exchange rate, depending on the country and currency in which the transaction is made. We use the rate in effect on the conversion date for the transaction. This rate may be different than the rate in effect on the Transaction Date for the transaction.

This Agreement is governed by applicable federal law and by Virginia law. However, in the event you default and we file a lawsuit to recover funds loaned to you, the statute of limitations of the state where the lawsuit is filed will apply, without regard to that state's conflicts of laws principles or its "borrowing statute."

Enforcing this Agreement
We may delay enforcing or not enforce any of our rights under this Agreement without losing or waiving any of them.

ARBITRATION
Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event of a dispute between you and us arising out of or relating to this Account or the relationships resulting from this Account or any other dispute between you or us, including, for example, a dispute based on a federal or state statute or local ordinance ("Claim"), either you or we may choose to resolve the Claim by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court. Any Claim except for a Claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including the Class Action Waiver, may be resolved by binding arbitration if either party requests it. THIS MEANS IF EITHER YOU OR WE CHOOSE ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ALSO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Even if all parties have opted to litigate a Claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim made by a new party or any new Claims later asserted in that lawsuit.
This arbitration agreement does not apply if, on the date you submit your Application or on the date we seek to invoke this arbitration agreement, you are a member of the Armed Forces or a dependent of such a member covered by the federal Military Lending Act. If you would like more information about whether you are covered by the Military Lending Act, please contact us at 1-844-DFS-4MIL (1-844-337-4645) or if you are calling from outside the US at *1-801-451-3730.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ARBITRATION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHER CARDMEMBERS, OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.
The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual Claim. The arbitrator may not award class, representative, or public injunctive relief. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular Claim for relief, then after all appeals from that decision have been exhausted, that Claim (and only that Claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity, scope, and effect of the Class Action Waiver.
Your and Our Right To Go To Small Claims Court. You and we will not choose to arbitrate any individual Claim you or we bring in small claims court (or an equivalent court). This means you or we may bring an action in small claims court (or an equivalent court) without being subject to arbitration. However, if a Claim is transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to a different court, or if any Claim brought in small claims court exceeds the small claims court limit, you or we may then choose to arbitrate.
Governing Law and Rules. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). Arbitration must proceed only with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The rules for the arbitration will be those in this arbitration agreement and the procedures of the AAA, but the rules in this arbitration agreement will be followed if there is disagreement between the agreement and the AAA's procedures. If the AAA's procedures change after the Claim is filed, the procedures in effect when the Claim was filed will apply.
ARBITRATION
For a copy of the AAA's procedures, to file a Claim or for other information, please contact the AAA at 1101 Laurel Oak Rd., Voorhees, NJ 08043, www.adr.org.
If the AAA is completely unavailable, and if you and we cannot agree on a substitute, then either you or we may request that a court with jurisdiction appoint a substitute.
Fees and Costs. If you wish to begin arbitration against us but you cannot afford to pay your share of the AAA's or arbitrator's costs and cannot obtain a waiver of costs from the AAA, we will advance those costs if you ask us in writing and are acting in good faith. Any request (like this should be sent to Discover, P.O. Box 30421, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0421). If you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide whether you must reimburse us for money we advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, we will not ask for reimbursement of money we advanced. Additionally, if you win the arbitration, the arbitrator may decide that you are entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (if actually paid by you). The arbitrator may also allocate compensation, expenses, and administrative fees (which include filing and hearing fees) to any party upon the arbitrator's determination that the party's claim or counterclaim was filed for purposes of harassment or is patently frivolous.
Hearings and Decisions. Arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district where you live. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must:
- Follow all applicable substantive law, except when contradicted by the FAA;
- Follow applicable statutes of limitations;
- Honor valid claims of privilege; and
- Issue a written decision including the reasons for the award.
The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding except for any review allowed by the FAA. However, if more than $100,000 was genuinely in dispute, then either you or we may choose to appeal to a new panel of three arbitrators. The appellate panel is completely free to accept or reject the entire original award or any part of it. The appeal must be filed with the AAA not later than 30 days after the original award issues. Appeal costs will be allocated consistent with the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules and Due Process Protocol.
Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Any finding, award, or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only to that arbitration. No finding, award, or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any Claim.
Claim Notice and Special Payment. If you have a Claim, before initiating an arbitration proceeding, you may give us written notice of the Claim ("Claim Notice") at least 30 days before initiating the arbitration proceeding. The Claim Notice must include your name, address, and account number and explain in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts. Any Claim Notice shall be sent to us at Discover, P.O. Box 794, Deerfield, IL 60015 (or such other address as we shall subsequently provide to you). If and only if you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this agreement on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); and (2) an arbitrator, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your Claim, issues you an award that (excluding any arbitration fees or attorneys' fees and costs awarded by the arbitrator) is greater than the value of Discover's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then you will be entitled to the amount of the award or $7,500, whichever is greater. If you are entitled to the $7,500, you will receive in addition any arbitration fees or attorneys' fees and costs awarded by the arbitrator.
Other Beneficiaries of this Agreement. In addition to you and us, the rights and duties described in this arbitration agreement apply to: our Affiliates, successors, subsidiaries, and our officers, directors and employees; any third party co-defendant of a Claim subject to this arbitration agreement; and all Joint Accountholders and Authorized Users of your Account(s).
Survival of this Agreement. This arbitration agreement shall survive:
- closing of your Account;
- voluntary payment of your Account or any part of it;
- any legal proceedings to collect money you owe;
- any bankruptcy by you; and
- any sale, assignment, or transfer by us of your Account.
You Have the Right to Reject Arbitration for this Account. You may reject the arbitration agreement but only if we receive from you a written notice of rejection within 30 days of your receipt of the Card after your Account is opened. You must send the notice of rejection to: Discover, P.O. Box 30938, Salt Lake City, UT 84190-0938.
Your rejection notice must include your name, address, phone number, Account number and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection notice for you. Your rejection notice must not be sent with any other correspondence. Rejection of arbitration will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement. If you reject arbitration, neither you nor we will be subject to the arbitration agreement for this Account. Rejection of arbitration for this Account will not constitute rejection of any prior or future arbitration agreement between you and us.

If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:
Discover
P.O. Box 30421
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0421.
You may also contact us on the Web: https://discover.com/billingerrornotice
In your letter or on the Web, please give us the following information:
• Account Information: Your name and account number.
• Dollar Amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• Description Of Problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
• By 5:00 P.M. ET on the date an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing or electronically. You may call us, but if you do we are not necessarily required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter or Web Submission?
When we receive your written or electronic notice, we must do two things:
1. Within 30 days of receiving your notice, we must tell you that we received it. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your notice, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
• We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
• The charge in question may continue to appear on your statement.
• While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
• We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
• If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
• If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us (or visit https://discover.com/billingerrornotice) within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing or electronically at:
Discover
P.O. Box 30945
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0945
https://discover.com/billingerrornotice
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
