20 dollar amount the Plaintiff sold the credit card receivable plus a “servicing asset” representing
21
fees collected by the Plaintiff for servicing the asset. Thus, the books and records of the Plaintiff
22
will show that the Plaintiff received an amount greater than the amount being sued upon.

Accordingly, the Plaintiff suffered no legal damages as a result of the Defendant’s alleged breach

25 of the credit card agreement.
