PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES, LLC v. WILLIAM MAINUS

Filed: Mar 11, 2026
Type: CS

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: William Mainus didn’t rob a bank, he didn’t run a Ponzi scheme, and he definitely didn’t steal anyone’s identity. No, his crime — the one that landed him in the District Court of McClain County, Oklahoma, on January 27, 2026 — was far more heinous in the eyes of corporate America: he didn’t pay his credit card bill. And not just any bill — a $690.42 bill. That’s right. This is a courtroom showdown over less money than your average monthly car payment, and yet here we are, parsing transaction histories like it’s the Zapruder film.

So who are these players in this high-stakes drama? On one side, we’ve got Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC — not a person, not a local business, but a national debt collection agency, the kind of company that buys up delinquent accounts for pennies on the dollar and then sues to collect the full amount, plus fees, like a financial vulture with a law degree. Their legal muscle? Nelson and Kennard, LLP — a firm so committed to debt collection they have an office in Lakewood, Colorado, but apparently enough business in Oklahoma to file lawsuits in McClain County on a Tuesday morning. Representing them: attorney Ashton Dewayne Sears, OBA #35737, who probably has more cases like this stacked in his inbox than unread emails.

On the other side: William Mainus. A man. A resident of Blanchard, Oklahoma. A guy who lives on Mockingbird Lane, which, let’s be honest, sounds like the setting of a Hallmark movie, not a civil lawsuit. He opened a Credit One Bank credit card account on August 4, 2022 — a card notorious for targeting subprime borrowers with sky-high interest rates and fees. His credit score at the time? A solid 463. For context, that’s not just “bad credit.” That’s “I might owe money to a guy named Vinnie with a van” credit. But hey, Credit One doesn’t care — they’ll take your business, your $99 annual fee, and your 29.24% APR, thank you very much.

Here’s how the tragedy unfolded: William used the card. He made purchases. He paid some of it back. His last payment? $50 on June 1, 2023. After that? Radio silence. The account slipped into delinquency — first on July 16, 2023 — and by January 17, 2024, it was officially charged off. That’s banker-speak for “we’ve given up on you paying, so we’re selling your debt to someone else who hasn’t.” And that someone else? Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC — who bought a whole spreadsheet full of bad debts (including William’s) from Credit Asset Sales LLC in a bulk deal on February 20, 2024. Exhibit A of the filing is literally just a .XLSX file with William’s name and balance highlighted. It’s cold. It’s impersonal. It’s capitalism at its most spreadsheet-adjacent.

Now, the balance. Let’s break this down, because it’s chef’s kiss in terms of financial absurdity. William’s last statement — from December 17, 2023, to January 16, 2024 — shows a previous balance of $629.42. He made no payments. No purchases. No cash advances. But the fees? Oh, the fees. $47.25 in fees. $13.75 in interest. Boom — $690.42. The annual fee? $8.25, charged right on January 16. The late fee? $39 — because of course it is. And the interest? 29.24%. That’s not a rate. That’s a hostage demand. If you carry a balance on this card, you’re not borrowing money — you’re paying a protection racket.

So why are we in court? Because Portfolio Recovery Associates claims William breached his contract by not paying. That’s the legal term for “you agreed to pay, and you didn’t.” It’s a breach of contract claim — the bread and butter of small debt collection lawsuits. No fraud. No theft. Just a man, a credit card agreement longer than the Magna Carta, and a failure to send a check.

And what do they want? $690.42. Plus court costs. Plus sheriff’s fees. Plus process server fees. Plus attorney fees. All for a debt that started as $297.82 in principal, ballooned to $690.42 thanks to fees and interest, and was then sold off like scrap metal before being litigated like it’s a matter of national security. Is $690 a lot? In the grand scheme of lawsuits? No. You could buy a used car for that. Or a really nice TV. But for someone with a 463 credit score? That’s not just money — that’s a month’s rent. A grocery budget. A car repair. And yet, here it is, being chased by a Colorado-based law firm on behalf of a debt buyer who never lent William a single dime.

Now, let’s talk about that credit card agreement — Exhibit 3, the Pricing Summary, which reads like a dystopian terms-of-service nightmare. 29.24% APR. $99 annual fee. $39 late fees. $5 or 8% for balance transfers. And the kicker? The arbitration clause. If William had wanted to fight this, he’d have to do it in binding arbitration — no jury, no judge, just a private arbitrator, and absolutely no class actions allowed. But get this: he has no idea he’s even being sued unless he gets served. And if he ignores it? Default judgment. Boom. Wage garnishment. Credit score nuked. All over $690.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t that someone is being sued for under $700. It’s that the system is designed this way. Credit One gives a card to someone with a 463 score, charges them 29.24% interest, slaps on fees like confetti, waits for them to fall behind, sells the debt to a third party, and then that third party sues — not to negotiate, not to settle, but to collect every penny, plus costs, in a court that sees ten cases like this every week. William Mainus isn’t a deadbeat. He’s a data point. A row in an Excel file. A balance on a spreadsheet.

And the real crime? That this is completely normal. That millions of Americans are trapped in this cycle. That a company can profit twice — once by lending money they know won’t be repaid, and again by selling the failure to someone else who sues over it. We’re not rooting for William because he’s innocent. We’re rooting for him because the system is rigged — and sometimes, the only way to see that is when a man gets sued for $690 over a credit card he probably used to buy groceries.

We’re entertainers, not lawyers. But even we know this: when the punishment is a lifetime of debt for a $300 purchase, the real breach of contract isn’t on William’s end. It’s on the whole damn system.

Variable APRs will increase or decrease when the Prime Rate changes. The APR change will take effect beginning with billing cycles that end on or after the first day of the month after the month in which the Prime Rate changes. An increase in the APR will increase your interest charges and may increase your Minimum Payment Due. Average Daily Balance Method (including new transactions): We calculate interest each billing cycle by first figuring the "average daily balance" for each type of balance. Standard Purchases, standard Cash Advances, standard Balance Transfers, and each promotional offer, are all types of balances. For each type of balance, for each billing cycle, we start with the balance on the last day of your previous billing cycle. We subtract any unpaid interest. This is the beginning balance each day. Each day of the billing cycle we subtract any new payments and credits applied to that type of balance. We add any new transactions and fees for that type of balance. We add Purchases, Cash Advances, and Balance Transfers on the post date. We add transaction fees on promotional rate and non-promotional rate Balance Transfers to the same type of balance as the transaction. We add all other fees to the standard Purchase balance. This gives us the daily balance for that type of balance, except that if the daily balance is negative, we treat it as zero. We then add up all of the daily balances and divide by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance" for that type of balance. We multiply the average daily balance by the applicable monthly periodic rate (the APR divided by 12). This gives us the interest charged for that type of balance for that billing cycle. This interest is included in the Account balance on the last day of the billing cycle. The results for all types of balances are then added together to determine the total interest charged that billing cycle. When Interest Begins: We begin to impose interest on a transaction or fee from the day we add it to the daily balance. We continue to impose interest 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 billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that billing statement, we will not impose interest on new Purchases paid by the Payment Due Date on your current billing statement. The Payment Due Date will be at least 24 days after the close of the billing cycle. If you have been paying your Account balance in full and thereby avoiding interest on Purchases, but then do not pay the next New Statement Balance in full by the Payment Due Date, in that billing cycle we will start charging interest on the unpaid portion of your balance. Fees See the Pricing Summary for additional Fee information. Annual Fee: If your Account is subject to an Annual Fee, the amount and when it is billed is shown on the Pricing Summary. The Annual Fee is billed to the Account until the Account is closed and the outstanding balance is paid in full. The Annual Fee is refundable as long as you cancel your Account and have not used your card for any Purchases, Cash Advances, or Balance Transfers and you have not made a payment. Credit Limit Increase Fee: If a fee is imposed for processing a Credit Limit increase request, we will tell you the amount of the fee at the time of your request and before you agree to it. Foreign Transaction Fee: We add this fee, unless "None" is stated in the Pricing Summary table, for each purchase made outside the U.S. (A purchase is made outside the U.S. unless it is made with a U.S. merchant, processed completely in the U.S., and in U.S. dollars.) The fee is a percentage of the U.S. dollar amount of the purchase. Optional Express Payment Service Fee: If a representative of ours helps expedite your payment, we may impose an Express Payment fee. You will be informed of the amount of the fee before you complete the transaction. Duplicate Statement Fee: If you request a duplicate copy of a monthly statement, for any purpose other than to assert a billing error, you will be charged a fee of up to $10 for each statement copy requested. Sales Slip Request Fee: If you request a copy of a sales slip, for any purpose other than to resolve a dispute about the charges on your Account, you will be charged a fee of $6 for each sales slip copy requested. Replacement Card Fee: If you request a replacement card, a Replacement Card Fee of up to $25 may be charged to your Account. Payments Minimum Payment Due: See the Pricing Summary for the minimum payment requirements. Small Balances: As it is uneconomical for both you and us to process payments or maintain credits that are $1 or less in amount, you agree as follows: (1) In any billing cycle in which you have had no transactions and your New Balance on the billing date is $1 or less, the balance will be rounded to zero and you will not receive a bill for this amount. (2) In the event that you have a credit balance of $1 or less for two consecutive billing cycles, the balance will be rounded to zero and you will not receive a refund of this amount. Payment Instructions: You must pay us in U.S. dollars, in funds on deposit in the U.S. We credit your payments in accordance with the terms contained on your billing statement. If you mail your payment to an address other than the address designated on your billing statement, there may be a delay in processing and crediting the payment to your Account. Irregular Payments: Any payment submitted in offer of settlement of a disputed debt, including any item containing a notation such as "paid in full," and any other item with a restrictive endorsement, must be sent to: Credit One Bank, P.O. Box 95516, Las Vegas, NV 89193-5516. We can accept late payments, partial payments, and checks or other items with restrictive endorsements at any other address without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. Postdated Checks: You agree that we need not examine any payment check to confirm that it is not postdated and that we may deposit any postdated check on the day we receive it. Payment Allocation: We apply payments up to the Minimum Payment Due and credits at our discretion, which may result in balances at lower APRs being paid first and higher interest charges. Payments over the Minimum Payment Due will be applied to balances with higher APRs first. Collecting, Sharing, and Updating Information Customer Privacy: We send you our Privacy Policy when you open your Account and thereafter in accordance with applicable law. It summarizes the personal information we collect; how we safeguard its confidentiality and security; when it may be shared with others; and how you can limit our sharing of this information.

These include reasonable attorneys' fees, court or other collection costs, and fees and costs of any appeal. Closing Your Account: You may close your Account at any time. You will remain responsible for any amount you owe us under this Agreement. Any joint Cardholder may cancel a joint Account. However, both of you will remain responsible for paying all amounts owed. If your Account is subject to an Annual Fee, the fee will continue to be charged until you pay your outstanding balance in full. We may cancel, suspend or not renew your Card, Account, or access to the credit line at any time and for any reason without notice. If your Account is closed by us, the Annual Fee will continue to be charged until you pay your outstanding balance in full. However, when your Account is closed, if there is: (1) a debit balance of $1 or less, that balance will be rounded to zero and you will not be required to pay this amount; or (2) a credit balance of $1 or less, that balance will be rounded to zero and this amount will not be refunded to you. The rounding to zero may occur after your closing statement cycles, and you may not receive a statement reflecting the rounding. Arbitration Agreement PLEASE READ CAREFULLY—IMPORTANT—AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS This agreement to arbitrate provides that you or we can require controversies or disputes between us to be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You have the right to REJECT this agreement to arbitrate by using the procedure explained below. If you do not reject this agreement to arbitrate, you GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT and controversies or disputes between us will be resolved by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, using rules that are simpler and more limited than in a court. Arbitrator decisions are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. Arbitration will proceed INDIVIDUALLY— CLASS ACTIONS AND SIMILAR PROCEDURES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO YOU. Agreement to Arbitrate: You and we agree that either you or we may, without the other's consent, require that controversies or disputes between you and us (all of which are called "Claims"), be submitted to mandatory, binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by, and enforceable under, the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq., and (to the extent State law is applicable), the laws of the State of Nevada. For purposes of this agreement to arbitrate, "you" includes you, any co-applicant, any Authorized User (including Additional Cardholders), or anyone else connected with you or claiming through you; and "we" or "us" includes Credit One Bank, N.A., all of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, predecessors, employees, and related persons or entities, and all third parties who are regarded as agents or representatives of us in connection with the subject matter of the claim or dispute at issue. Covered Claims: Claims subject to arbitration include, but are not limited to, any controversies or disputes arising from or relating in any way to your Account; any transactions involving your Account; any disclosures made to you concerning your Account; any interest, charges, or fees assessed on your Account; any service(s) or programs related to your Account; and, if permitted by the rules of the arbitration forum, any collection of debt related to your Account. Claims also include controversies or disputes arising from or relating in any way to advertising, solicitations, or any application for, approval of, or establishment of your Account. Claims subject to arbitration include any controversies or disputes based on any theory of law, whether contract, tort, statute, regulation, common law, or equity, or whether they seek legal or equitable remedies. All Claims are subject to arbitration whether they arose in the past, may currently exist, or may arise in the future. Arbitration will apply even if your Account is closed, you pay us in full any outstanding debt you owe, or you file for bankruptcy. Also, controversies or disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage, meaning, or scope of this agreement to arbitrate or any part thereof are subject to arbitration and are for the arbitrator to decide. Any questions about what Claims are subject to arbitration shall be resolved by interpreting this agreement to arbitrate in the broadest way the law will allow it to be enforced. Claims Not Covered: Claims (whether brought initially or by counter or cross-claim) are not subject to arbitration if they are filed by you or us in a small claims court, so long as the case remains in such court and only individual claims for relief are advanced in the case. No Class Arbitration or Consolidation or Joinder of Parties: Class actions and other similar procedures in which individuals seek to represent similarly situated individuals or seek relief on behalf of the general public, and consolidation or joinder of Claims (except for claimants on the same account), are NOT available under this agreement to arbitrate. Claims in arbitration will proceed on an INDIVIDUAL basis only: UNLESS YOU REJECT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU AND WE WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. The arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain any Claim as a class action or private attorney general action or on any other similar representative basis, nor shall the arbitrator have any authority to consolidate or join Claims brought by separate claimants (except for claimants on the same account). This also means that the arbitrator shall have no authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any person other than the individual who is the named party.† †Notice to California Account Holders: This agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed to prevent you from seeking in the arbitration the remedy of public injunctive relief if (a) you reside in California, (b) you resided in California at the time you entered into this agreement to arbitrate, or (iii) the billing address for your Account is a California address (hereafter, "California Account Holder"). Initiation of Arbitration: The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") before a single arbitrator under the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules, or by a mutually agreeable administrator, before a single arbitrator, as modified by this arbitration provision. Information about the arbitration process for AAA can be obtained from the AAA at www.adr.org. The arbitrator shall be selected from the AAA (or mutually agreeable administrator) panel of neutrals then active on the roster maintained by the AAA (or mutually agreeable administrator) office located in the city of or nearest to your billing address and, unless otherwise mutually agreed, the arbitrator shall be a retired federal judge, a retired state appellate judge, a retired state trial judge, or a lawyer with at least 15 years of experience in that order of preference. In the event that the AAA or mutually agreeable administrator is unable or unwilling to handle the Claim for any reason, then the matter shall be arbitrated instead by a neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties (or, if the parties cannot agree, selected by a court in accordance with the FAA). Arbitration Procedures and Applicable Law; Offer of Settlement: Unlike a lawsuit in state or federal court, arbitration is conducted by a private organization that specializes in alternative dispute resolution. Disputes in arbitration are decided by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. You may represent yourself in arbitration, or you may be represented by a lawyer. Under this agreement to arbitrate, a single arbitrator designated by the arbitration administrator will decide the Claim under applicable law. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement to arbitrate. The AAA or mutually agreeable administrator will apply its code of procedures in effect at the time the arbitration claim is filed. If there is a conflict between that code of procedures and this arbitration provision and/or any sections of this Card Agreement, this arbitration provision and/or this Card Agreement will control. The arbitrator will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. Subject to the prohibition on class, representative, and consolidation procedures set forth above, the arbitrator will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief (including relief in equity) provided for under applicable law. That is, a party will be entitled to recover in arbitration any damages or other relief that it could recover if it prevailed in a court proceeding. An arbitrator's award shall consist of a written statement setting forth the disposition of each Claim. At the request of any party, the arbitrator shall also set forth a written explanation of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. An arbitration award shall decide the rights and obligations only of the parties named in the arbitration, and shall not have any bearing on another person or dispute. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, in a telephonic hearing, or in an in-person hearing. Any in-person hearing will take place in the federal judicial district that includes your billing address at the time the Claim is filed, unless the parties agree to a different place. The Arbitrator's Decision: The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on the parties. A party can file a written appeal to the arbitration administrator within thirty (30) days after an award is issued. The appeal will proceed before a panel of three neutral arbitrators designated by the same arbitration administrator. The panel will decide anew all factual and legal issues, following the same rules of procedure, by majority vote any aspect of the original decision objected to. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the below paragraph entitled "Fees and Costs". Any review by a court shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any final arbitration award will be binding on the named parties and enforceable by any court having jurisdiction. Fees and Costs: We will pay any costs that are required to be paid by us under the arbitration administrator's rules of procedure. If you file the arbitration, you will pay your share of the initial filing fee, unless you seek and qualify for a fee waiver under the applicable rules of the arbitration administrator. The party filing an appeal shall be responsible for all filing fees and costs of the appeal unless prohibited by administrator's rules of procedure. All parties are responsible for their own attorney's fees, expert fees and any other expenses, unless the arbitrator awards such fees or expenses to you or us if allowed by applicable law. Other Parties Subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate: In addition to you and us, the rights and duties described in this agreement to arbitrate apply to: any third party co-defendant of a claim subject to this arbitration provision; all joint account holders, Additional Cardholders, and Authorized Users of your Account(s). How to REJECT this Agreement to Arbitrate: You can reject this agreement to arbitrate but only if we receive from you a written notice of rejection within 45 days after it was first provided to you. To reject this agreement to arbitrate you must send the notice of rejection to: Credit One Bank, Attention: Arbitration Opt Out, P. O. Box 98873, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8873. Rejection notices sent to any other address will not be accepted or effective. If you decide to reject this agreement to arbitrate in writing, your notice must state that you reject this agreement to arbitrate and include your name, address, account number, and personal signature. Rejection of arbitration will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Card Agreement. Survival, Severability, and Amendment of Terms: Survival. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive changes in the Agreement and termination of the Account or the relationship between you and us, including the bankruptcy of any party and any transfer or sale of your Account, or amounts owed on your Account, to another person or entity. Severability. If any part or parts of your agreement to arbitrate are declared unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force or effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this agreement to arbitrate shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, the entire agreement to arbitrate or your waiver of the right to bring or participate in a class or representative action or in consolidation procedures is unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate shall be of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect to California Account Holders, if arbitration is unenforceable, in whole or in part, you and we agree to resolve any Claim by a judicial reference proceeding as described above. Amendment in Writing Only. This agreement to arbitrate may not be amended, severed, or waived, except as expressly provided in the Agreement or in a written agreement between you and us. Other Information Transactions in Foreign Currencies: If you make a transaction at a merchant that settles in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Mastercard International Incorporated or Visa Incorporated will convert that charge into a U.S. Dollar amount. That conversion will be done at a rate selected by Mastercard or Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Mastercard or Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The currency conversion rate used on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or on the date the transaction is posted to your Account. You agree to pay the converted amount, including any charges for the conversion that may be imposed as described above. Changes to Your Agreement: The rates, fees and terms of this Agreement may change and we may add or delete any term to this Agreement, consistent with applicable law. We will give you advance written notice of these changes and a right to reject the change, if required by law. Unauthorized Use: Notify us immediately if your Card is lost or stolen or you suspect that someone is using your Card or Account without your permission. Assignment: We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations under this Agreement. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement. No Waiver: We will not lose our rights under this Agreement because we delay or do not enforce them. Governing Law: This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable to national banks, and, where no such laws apply, by the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding the conflicts of law provisions thereof, regardless of your state of residence. Conformance with Law; Severability: If any part of this Agreement conflicts with applicable law, that provision will be considered modified to conform to applicable law. If any part of this Agreement is invalid, the rest shall remain in effect, except as otherwise noted in the Arbitration Provision. Your Billing Rights: Keep this Document for Future Use This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at the Billing Inquiries address on the statement. In your letter, 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. • At least 3 business days before 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. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question. What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. 2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, 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 remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. • 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 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 $50.00 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 $50.00. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own or operate 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. 3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at the Billing Inquiries address shown on your statement. While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you of our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent. Rewards Program Supplement This Supplement describes the terms and conditions of the Credit One Cash Back Rewards Program ("Program") and supplements the Card Agreement that governs your credit card account issued by Credit One Bank, N.A. (the "Account"). By using the Account, you agree to participate in the Program. Your participation is subject to the terms of the Card Agreement, including the arbitration provision, if applicable, and this Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the Card Agreement and this Supplement, with respect to matters relating to the Program, this Supplement controls. Earning Cash Back Rewards: You earn cash back rewards in the form of an automatic statement credit equal to 1% of Net Eligible Purchases (as defined below) made with your Account. You do not earn cash back rewards on Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, interest, fees, and other charges. We will post a statement credit to your Account within seven days after the end of the month based on the Net Eligible Purchases made with your Account from the first day to the last day of the current month. If your Account is in default, as defined in your Card Agreement, at the time the credit is to be posted, you WILL NOT receive the credit. Cash back rewards have no cash value. Merchant Categories: Merchants who accept Visa/Mastercard credit cards are assigned a merchant code, which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Visa/ Mastercard procedures based on the kinds of products and services they primarily sell. We group similar merchant codes into Eligible Purchase categories for purposes of making cash back rewards offers to you. Please note: • We make every effort to include all relevant merchant codes in our cash back rewards categories. However, even though a merchant or some of the items that it sells may appear to fit within a cash back rewards category, the merchant may not have a merchant code in that category. When this occurs, Purchases with that merchant won't qualify for cash back rewards offers on Purchases in that category. • Although a merchant or the items that it sells may appear to fit the reward categories, the merchant may not have or use an eligible Code. Purchases made without an eligible code WILL NOT qualify for cash back rewards. A merchant with more than one location may submit Purchases using different codes, including codes that are not eligible under this Program. This means that Purchases from the same merchant at a different location may result in no reward. • Purchases submitted by you, an authorized user, or the merchant through third-party payment accounts, mobile or wireless card readers, online or mobile digital wallets, or similar technology will not qualify in a cash back rewards category if the technology is not set up to process the purchase in that cash back rewards category. Eligible Purchases: Eligible Purchases are Purchases from merchants in the following categories: • gasoline, • grocery (grocery Purchases do not include Purchases at superstores, at stores that sell groceries and other products like drugstores and convenience stores; or at smaller stores like bakeries, candy, nut or confection stores), • mobile phone service, and • internet, cable and satellite TV service. Purchases That Are Not Eligible: Purchases from the following types of merchants are not eligible for cash back rewards: • oil, propane, home heating companies, • PayPal, • warehouse clubs (including but not limited to Sam's Club and Costco), • discount supercenters (including but not limited to Wal-Mart and Target). Net Eligible Purchases: Net Eligible Purchases are Eligible Purchases minus any returns, disputed charges, unauthorized charges, illegal or fraudulent charges or other credits for such Purchases. Program Restrictions: You will receive an automatic cash back rewards credit on each statement that has at least one Net Eligible Purchase. Automatic statement credits for cash back rewards will reduce the balance on your Account but will not count as payments. You will still be required to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due as shown on your billing statement each month. You WILL NOT earn cash back rewards for Purchases made while your Account is in default as defined within your Card Agreement. This Program excludes Accounts already enrolled in a different Credit One cash back rewards program. Changes: The Program may be changed (added to, modified or deleted) by us at any time, including without limitation amendments to the definition of Eligible Purchases. We will give you prior notice to the extent required by law. Any revisions may affect your ability to earn cash back rewards. Termination: We may suspend or terminate the Program or your participation in the Program at any time without prior notice. In such event, we will evaluate your Account for any eligible cash back rewards as of the Program termination date. Provided that you meet all of the other Program Restrictions listed above at that time, you will receive a distribution of the cash back rewards earned during the current billing period in the form of a statement credit. Limited Liability: Unless otherwise required by law, this Program, or our Card Agreement with you, we will not be liable to you or anyone making a claim on your behalf, in connection with: (1) any change or termination of the Program; (2) any loss, damage, expense or inconvenience caused by any occurrence outside of our control; (3) any taxes that you incur as a result of receiving cash back rewards, payment of which taxes will be your responsibility; (4) any merchandise or services you purchase, or for any direct, indirect or consequential damages with respect to the use of your Account. In any event, any liability that Credit One may have to you in connection with the Program shall be limited to the amount of any cash back rewards you have earned in this Program. The Program and cash back rewards are void or limited where prohibited or restricted, respectively, by federal, state or local law.
