Although repeated demands have been made for payment of the outstanding balance referred to, the defendant allegedly refuses without justification to reconcile it. Though, a personal guaranty was signed by Chowns for the amount in question on April 2, 2014.
For breach of contract and unjust enrichment, the plaintiff is seeking damages of $20,802.27, plus continuing interest, costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
The plaintiff is represented by John H. Filice of Rubin Glickman Steinberg & Gifford, in Lansdale.
