----------)

Plaintiff Ellen S. Essig, by her undersigned attorneys, brings this class action complaint

against PNC Bank, NA ("Lender"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Financial Services

Group, Inc. ("PNC"). Plaintiffs allegations are based upon knowledge as to her own acts and

upon information and belief as to all other matters. Plaintiff s information and belief is based

upon, among other things, the investigation undertaken by her attorneys, which included, without

limitation: (a) interviews of witnesses; (b) review ofPNC's published materials and information

available on the internet; and (c) analysis of public records and documents. Plaintiff believes that

substantial evidentiary support will exist for the allegations set forth herein after a reasonable

opportunity for discovery.

NATURE OF THE ACTION

1. This is a class action against PNC for breach of contract, breach of the duty of

good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade

Practices and Consumer Protection Law. Each claim is based upon PNC's conduct in

overcharging and/or improperly charging the Plaintiff and a class of similarly situated

Page 4: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

individuals (the "Class"), fees charged under a subordination clause contained within their Home

Equity Line of Credit ("HELOC") Agreement ("HELOC Agreement") between December 24,

2004, through and including the present (the "Class Period").

2. A HELOC is a loan in which the lender agrees to lend a sum of money on certain

payment and interest terms where the collateral is the borrower's equity in hislher house. By

agreement, HELOC loans are typically subordinate to the primary (and often secondary) home

mortgages.

3. Prior to and throughout the Class Period, PNC improperly collected subordination

fees under the HELOC Agreement when: (a) the subordination clause is ambiguous and

unenforceable on its face; or (b) if enforceable, collected in instances they should not be imposed

and/or collected in amounts in excess of those allowable under the HELOC Agreement.

4. The subordination clause in the HELOC Agreement, executed by Plaintiff and

members of the Class, specifically authorizes the Lender to "charge [the borrower] a fee of

$100.00 each time [the borrower] request[s] and [PNC] agree[s] to subordinate [its] lien position

to that of another creditor."} See HELOC Agreement, annexed hereto as Exhibit A (emphasis

added).

5. As drafted, the subordination clause is a vague, indefinite and uncertain because it

is unclear on its face what "another creditor" means. Indeed, the undefined term could refer to a

creditor who PNC had not already agreed to subordinate its lien position to or any creditor, other

than PNC (regardless of whether PNC had already agreed to assume a subordinate lien position

to), but implicated because PNC's subordinate lien position becomes subject to a subsequent

refinancing event. Or, perhaps the phrase "another creditor" has yet another meaning not

Some HELOC Agreements may provide for a fee greater than $100 but this does notchange the nature of the claims alleged herein.

2

Page 5: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

expressed here and not readily ascertainable from a plain reading of the subordination clause.

6. Because the phrase "another creditor" is an essential term of the subordination

clause its vagueness prevents the creation of an enforceable provision of the HELOC Agreement.

Further, to the extent there exists any ambiguity in the contract language, the issue should be

resolved in Plaintiffs' favor under to the doctrine of contra proferentem.

7. Even if a contract was formed and the subordination clause is enforceable as

written (whatever that meaning is), PNC necessarily is limited to collect from borrowers only

such fees permitted under the HELOC Agreement. PNC breached and continues to breach the

HELOC Agreement and/or is unjustly enriched by charging borrowers fees not authorized under

that provision and/or charging fees over and above those allowable. Further, PNC has admitted

to overcharging and/or improperly charging borrowers fees above those permitted by borrowers'

HELOC Agreements, beginning in October 2009 through PNC's online system.

8. Plaintiff, on her own behalf, and as a representative of a Class of similarly

situated individuals, seeks to recover compensatory damages in the amount of subordination fees

improperly collected by PNC pursuant to the HELOC Agreement, treble damages, and/or

statutory damages.

9. Plaintiff also seeks injunctive relief ordering cessation of the offending practices

and revision of the language of the HELOC Agreement making its terms clear to unwitting

borrowers.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

10. This Court has personal jurisdiction over the parties because Plaintiff submits to

the jurisdiction of the Court, PNC is located and incorporated in the State of Pennsylvania, and

by virtue of the facts that PNC's executive offices are located in the State and PNC

3

Page 6: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

systematically and continually conducts business within the Commonwealth.

11. Venue is proper because PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is located in

Pittsburg Pennsylvania, Allegheny County, conducts substantial business in this County, has its

executive offices in this County, and because certain of the violations affecting Class members

residing in Pennsylvania occurred in this County.

PARTIES

12. Plaintiff Ellen Essig, a resident of Ohio, is party to a HELOC Agreement with

PNC.

13. PNC is a Pennsylvania Corporation that maintains its principal place of business

at One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS

14. Pursuant to Rules 1701 through 1716 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil

Procedure, Plaintiff brings this class action on her own behalf and on behalf of all similarly

situated individuals who were: (a) party to a PNC HELOC Agreement with a subordination

clause the same or substantially similar to that contained in Exhibit A; and (b) paid subordination

fees improperly levied under that agreement.

15. This action is properly maintainable as a class action.

16. The Class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable. By recent

estimates, as PNC has already admitted, it has executed thousands of Home Equity Line of

Credit Agreements throughout the nation. PNC has already identified over 1,000 borrowers who

have subordinated their PNC HELOC Agreement, presumably to the incursion of fees, between

October 2009 and February 2011.

4

Page 7: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

17. The number and identities of borrowers who have executed HELOC Agreements

with PNC can easily be detennined from records maintained by PNC and/or its agents. The

disposition of their claims in a class action will be of benefit to the parties and to the Court.

18. A class action is superior to other methods for the fair and efficient adjudication

of the claims herein asserted, and no unusual difficulties are likely to be encountered in the

management of this action as a class action. The likelihood of individual Class members

prosecuting separate claims is remote due to the nominal amount of damages suffered by any

individual member of the Class.

19. There is a well-defined community of interest in the questions of law and fact

involved affecting members of the Class. Among the questions of law and fact which are

common to the Class, and which predominate over questions affecting any individual Class

member are, inter alia, the following:

a. Whether the subordination clause contained within the HELOC Agreement is

ambiguous and unenforceable as written under Pennsylvania law;

b. Whether the doctrine of contra proferentem applies to the subordination clause

under Pennsylvania law;

c. Whether PNC improperly imposed subordination fees on the members of the

Class based on an unenforceable provision under Pennsylvania law;

d. Whether PNC improperly imposed subordination fees on members of the Class in

excess of the allowable amount under Pennsylvania law; and

e. Whether, and to what extent, Plaintiff and the members of the Class have been

damaged by PNC's unjust enrichment and/or breach of the HELOC Agreement

under Pennsylvania law, and the proper measure of damages.

5

Page 8: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

20. Plaintiff is a member of the Class and is committed to prosecuting this action.

Plaintiff has retained competent counsel experienced in litigation of this nature. Plaintiff s

claims are typical of the claims of the other members of the Class in that she is seeking

compensatory damages for PNC's unjust enrichment and/or breach of contract by virtue of

subordination fees improperly collected under the HELOC Agreement. Plaintiff does not have

interests antagonistic to or in conflict with those she seeks to represent. Plaintiff is, therefore, an

adequate representative of the Class.

21. The likelihood of individual Class members prosecuting separate individual

actions is remote due to the relatively small loss suffered by each Class member as compared to

the burden and expense of prosecuting litigation of this nature and magnitude. Absent a class

action, PNC is likely to avoid liability for its wrongdoing, and the Class members are unlikely to

obtain redress for the wrongs alleged herein.

22. Adjudication of this case on a class-wide basis is manageable by this Court. The

standard form HELOC Agreement issued to Plaintiff and to other members of the Class

throughout the United States and its possessions are the same or so similar as to be legally and

factually indistinguishable in all material respects, and the laws of the various states which may

be applied to Plaintiff s unjust enrichment and breach of contract claim on behalf of the Class' are

largely identical or can otherwise be grouped into a small number of subsets based on any

variations that may be deemed to be relevant to the Court. As a result, it will not be difficult for

the Court or the jury to determine whether PNC has breached its contracts for each of the

members of the Class. This Court is an appropriate forum for this dispute.

SUBSTANTIVE ALLEGATIONS

23. At all times relevant hereto, the note on Plaintiff s home mortgage was held by

Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland ("Third Federal"), located at 7007

Broadway Ave., Cleveland, OR 44105.

24. Subsequently, on February 6, 2006, Plaintiff executed the HELOC Agreement,

(annexed hereto as Exhibit A) with PNC whereby PNC assumed a subordinate lien position to

Third Federal.

25. The HELOC Agreement, a standard PNC form contract, is comparable in all

material aspects and is substantially similar to the form RELOC Agreement used by PNC

nationwide. The HELOC Agreement evidences the debt owed by the borrower to the lender and

is the basic contractual instrument in securing a home equity line of credit at PNC.

26. The Agreement is a contract of adhesion, in that Plaintiff and the other members

of the Class were not given any opportunity to negotiate any of its terms or conditions. Indeed,

the Agreement was offered to Plaintiff and other members of the Class on a "take it or leave it"

basis.

27. The Agreement sets forth the following provision pertaining to fees charged

relating to a request for subordination:

Subordination Fee. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we willcharge you a fee of $100.00 each time you request and we agree tosubordinate our lien position to that of another creditor.

28. In September of 2010, Plaintiff refinanced her home mortgage with Third Federal,

the same lender she had been with up to that date and the same lender to which PNC had agreed

previously to take a subordinate lien position.

7

Page 10: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

29. In October of 2010, Plaintiff received a statement from PNC on her HELOC.

Included in the statement was an extra, non-specific charge of $135.00. When Plaintiff called

and inquired about this charge, she was informed it was a subordination fee arising out of her

recent refinancing. Understandably, Plaintiff was both confused by the amount and the nature of

the fee.

30. Despite being the central component of PNC's right under the HELOC

Agreement to charge a subordination fee, the phrase "another creditor" is undefined and so

vague that its meaning cannot be reasonably discerned from plain language of the HELOC

Agreement.

31. Indeed, "another creditor" could be construed as a creditor to which PNC had not

already agreed to take a subordinate lien position, or any creditor (regardless of whether PNC

had previously agreed to take a subordinate lien position to it), or still some other meaning not

readily understandable from the plain language of the HELOC Agreement.

32. The vagueness, indefiniteness and uncertainty of the phrase "another creditor," as

an essential term of the subordination clause, prevents the creation of an enforceable provision of

the Agreement under Pennsylvania law.

33. Under the doctrine of contra proferentem, any ambiguity must be construed

against the drafter and in accordance with the reasonable expectations of the borrower when he

or she entered into the contract. This doctrine is particularly applicable in situations where, such

as here, a sophisticated lending institution, which frequently engages in lending transactions,

enters into a standardized contract of adhesion with a less sophisticated borrower.

34. There was no meeting of the minds between the parties at the time the contract

was formed as to an essential term of the subordination clause. Yet, Plaintiff and other members

8

Page 11: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

of the Class were indeed charged and paid fees pursuant to a subordination clause they neither

understood nor agreed to at the time they executed the HELOC Agreement.

35. Because the subordination clause is vague and not reasonably understandable, it

cannot be enforced. Accordingly, Plaintiff and members of the Class who were charged and paid

subordination fees are entitled to full restitution of any and all amounts tendered.

36. Whether or not the subordination clause is deemed enforceable as written,

Plaintiff and members of the Class suffered doubly in many instances because: (a) they were

forced to pay the fee in instances where they should not have been forced to do so; and/or (b)

they were forced to pay more than PNC was entitled to under the HELOC Agreement.

37. Assuming "another creditor" means a creditor that PNC did not already agree to

take a subordinate lien position to, then PNC should not impose the fee where, as in cases like

the Plaintiffs, the creditor was the same entity (i.e., Third Federal) to which PNC already agreed

to subordinate its lien position. Any Class member falling into this category, including the

Plaintiff, is entitled to full reimbursement of the subordination fee.

38. Assuming "another creditor" means any creditor other than PNC (regardless of

whether PNC had already agreed to subordinate its lien position to such creditor), then PNC is

necessarily limited to the maximum fee indicated in the subordination clause. In the Plaintiff s

case, she was charged $35 more than the allowable fee. Any Class member falling into this

category, including the Plaintiff, is entitled to any amount charged and paid above the allowable

fee they were subj ect to under the HELOC Agreement.

39. Whether or not the subordination clause is deemed enforceable as written, PNC

has nonetheless admitted to overcharging and/or improperly charging HELOC Agreement

borrowers under the subordination clause through PNC's online system ("the Xetus system")

9

Page 12: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

beginning in October 2009. This admitted pattern and practice of overcharging and/or

improperly charging through the Xetus system was investigated by PNC after Plaintiff and the

Class first brought these claims to PNC's attention. PNC claims to have ceased overcharging

through the Xetus system and issued credits where appropriate, but without further discovery the

number of borrowers overcharged and/or improperly charged, and extent of the damages

incurred is yet unknown. Any Class member falling into this category is entitled to any amount

charged and paid above the allowable fee they were subject to under the HELOC Agreement.

40. As a result of PNC's breach of its obligations under the HELOC Agreement,

Plaintiff and members of the Class have been damaged in the amount of fees and other

overcharges imposed by PNC arising out of the subordination clause. Accordingly, PNC is

liable to Plaintiff and the Class.

COUNT I

Breach ofContract

0Unenforceabili(V)

41. Plaintiff incorporates by reference and re-alleges each and every allegation set

forth above as though fully set forth herein.

42. Plaintiff and other members of the Class entered into contracts for home equity

lines of credit with PNC without a clear understanding or agreement as to under what

circumstances the obligation to pay a subordination fee would arise.

43. The phrase "another creditor" contained in the subordination clause of the

HELOC Agreement is undefined, unclear and so ambiguous on its face so that no reasonable

borrower could understand to what entity that term referred or when the fee associated with the

superior lien position of "another creditor" would attach.

10

Page 13: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

44. Because the subordination clause is unreasonably vague and ambiguous, it cannot

be enforced against the Plaintiff and members of the Class.

45. PNC breached the HELOC Agreement with the Plaintiff and members of the

Class by enforcing the subordinat~on clause when it had no right under the HELOC Agreement

to do so.

46. As a result of PNC's breach, Plaintiffs and members of the Class were damaged

by being charged and paying any and all sums in connection with the subordination clause.

COUNT II

Breach ofContract

(Improper Enforcement)

47. Plaintiff incorporates by reference and re-alleges each and every allegation set

forth above, as though fully set forth herein.

Scenario A

48. Assuming a clear meaning could be distilled from the vague language of the

subordination clause (i.e., "another creditor"), Plaintiff and other members of the Class entered

into the HELOC Agreement with the understanding that they would be subject to fees in relation

to a subordination clause only when the borrower requested and PNC agreed to subordinate its

lien position to that of a creditor who it was not already subordinate to.

49. PNC breached the HELOC Agreement with Plaintiff and other members of the

Class by charging subordination fees when PNC's lien position was not subordinated to a

creditor to which it was not already subordinate.

50. As a result of PNC's breach, Plaintiff and other members of the Class who paid

fees when PNC's subordinated lien position did not change to another creditor were damaged by

11

Page 14: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

the amount of subordination fees they paid and/or overpaid in connection therewith.

Scenario B

51. Alternatively, assuming the HELOC Agreement can be construed to mean that

PNC would be entitled to a maximum fee expressed under the subordination clause any time

PNC's subordinate lien position was implicated by a financing amendment (regardless of

whether the superior creditor remained the same), Plaintiffs and members of the Class

understood this to mean they would not be charged any more than the fee expressed.

52. PNC breached the HELOC Agreement with Plaintiff and other members of the

Class by charging subordination fees over and above those allowable in the subordination clause,

including those charged through the Xetus system.

53. As a result of PNC's breach, Plaintiff and other members of the Class who paid

more subordination fees than allowable under the HELOC Agreement were damaged by the

amount of fees they paid and/or overpaid in connection therewith.

COUNT III

Breach ofDuty ofGood Faith and Fair Dealing

54. Plaintiff incorporates by reference and re-alleges each and every allegation set

forth above, as though fully set forth herein.

55. PNC has a duty of good faith and fair dealing that is implied in each of its

contracts with Plaintiff and the other members of the Class, including the duty not to charge fees

that are unclear and/or not authorized under the HELOC Agreement and/or to charge no more

than what is specifically provided for in the HELOC Agreement.

56. PNC breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing by, inter alia, seeking fees in

circumstances where no fees should have been sought and/or seeking fees in amounts that

12

Page 15: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

exceeded those allowable under the HELOC Agreement.

57. Based upon the foregoing, Plaintiff and the other Class members are entitled to a

judgment that PNC has breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing implied in the HELOC

Agreement.

58. As a result of PNC's breach, Plaintiff and the other members of the Class have

been damaged in an amount equal to any and all fees charged in excess of the amounts PNC was

entitled to receive under the Home Equity Line of Credit Agreements.

COUNT IV

Unjust Enrichment

59. Plaintiff incorporates by reference and re-alleges each and every allegation set

forth above, as though fully set forth herein.

60. As a result of seeking and collecting subordination fees when no valid or

enforceable agreement existed giving PNC the right to collect such fees or collecting fees in

excess of those authorized, PNC has been and will be unjustly enriched at the expense of

Plaintiff and members of the Class.

61. As a result ofPNC's unjust enrichment, Plaintiff and each member of the Class is

entitled to restitution of any and all sums paid to PNC in the form of so-called subordination

fees.

COUNT V

Violation ofthe Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law

62. Plaintiff incorporates by reference and re-alleges each and every allegation set

forth above, as though fully set forth herein.

13

Page 16: 1MON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, · PDF fileinthe court of col\1mon pleas of allegheny county, pennsylvania civil division ... pnc bank, na, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary ) ofpnc financial

63. The use of PNC services by Plaintiff and the members of the Class constitutes a

service primarily for personal, family or household purposes under Section 9 of the Unfair Trade

Practices and Consumer Protection Law ("UTPCPL"), 73 P.S. § 201-9.2.

64. The conduct of PNC in seeking and collecting subordination fees· when no valid

or enforceable agreement existed giving PNC the right to collect such fees or collecting fees in

excess of those authorized, violates some or all of the following provisions of the UTPCPL,

including:

a. § 201-2(4)(v) - "representing that goods or services have sponsorship, approval,

characteristics, ingredients, uses, benefits, or quantities that they do not have;"

b. § 201-2(4)(ix) - "advertising goods or services with the intent not to sell them as

advertised"; and

c. § 201-2(4)(xxi) - "engaging in any other fraudulent or deceptive conduct which

creates a likelihood of confusion or misunderstanding."

65. As a result of the unlawful conduct of PNC, 73 P.S. § 201-9.2 entitles Plaintiff

and the Class to recover up to three times the actual damages sustained, but not less than one

hundred dollars ($100) and costs and reasonable attorney fees.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment and relief as follows:

,A. Declaring that this lawsuit is properly maintainable as a class action and certifying

Plaintiff as a representative of the Class;

B. Declaring that PNC breached its contract with Plaintiff and the members of the

subordination fees, directing PNC to redraft the same in a manner that fully and fairly describes

the rights ofPNC and obligations of the borrower;

allowances for Plaintiff's counsel and experts' fees and expenses; and
