DAVID L. TRABULSI, ATTEST: Al HM, oxeme
Defendant
AFFIDAVIT OF DAVID PERRY
3
I, DAVID PERRY, being duly sworn do hereby say and depose
as follows:
1 I am the Chief Financial Officer of the plaintiff and am
familiar with the account of DAVID TRABULSI A/K/A DAVID L.
TRABULSI based on my review of records kept in the ordinary
course of the plaintiff’s business information and/or my
personal knowledge.
2. The defendant DAVID TRABULSI A/K/A DAVID L. TRABULSI is a
natural person residing, upon information and belief, at 56
Prospect Hill Road, Harvard, Massachusetts 01451 (“defendant”) .
3. On or about March 28, 2022 defendant completed and/or
signed plaintiff’s commercial credit application and
unconditional guaranty, a copy of which is annexed hereto and
marked herein as nat,
4 In the credit application the defendant warranted that at
the time it made each purchase it would be solvent and would
notify the plaintiff in writing prior to any proposed purchase
when the defendant was not paying its bills to any person or
entity when due and that any breach of this covenant and/or
warranty as to solvency shall be deemed by a court to be
intentional and waived the right to challenge same and
acknowledged that the plaintiff was relying on that covenant to
extend credit to the commercial defendant.
5 The defendant completed and/or signed an unconditional
personal guaranty in which he agreed to pay all of the
obligations of the applicant, the defendant, together with
interest at the rate of 1 and 1/2% per month (18% per annum)
together with reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and
collection expenses, a copy of which is annexed hereto and
marked herein as "A".
6. The defendant waived his rights to a trial by jury.
7. The defendant waived all surety rights.
8. The defendant waived any rights of set off, redemption and
counterclaim.
9 The defendant acknowledged in his guaranty that his waivers
were voluntary and knowing, and that he had the opportunity to
review same with independent counsel and that he read and
understood each of the terms and conditions of the guaranty and
signed same knowingly and voluntarily.
10. The defendant subordinated his right of homestead to any
encumbrance obtained by the plaintiff.
2
11. In reliance on the representations set forth in the
commercial credit application and guaranty, the plaintiff sold
goods and materials for commercial purposes to the defendant,
for which remains an outstanding unpaid balance.
12. As of May 8, 2024, there is due and owing from the
defendant to the plaintiff, the principal sum of One Hundred
Five Thousand One Hundred and Ten and 17/100 ($105,110.17)
Dollars, according to the Statement annexed hereto and marked
npr,
13. These unpaid purchases occurred between February 2, 2023,
through and including April 13, 2023.
14. The defendant last made payment on or about December 8,
2023.
15. The plaintiff again made demand upon the defendant, but
defendant have failed, refused and/or neglected and continue to
fail, refuse and/or neglect to pay the outstanding balance
including sums that they do not deny owing to the plaintiff.
16. The defendant knew when he ordered and accepted commercial
goods and materials from the plaintiff that the plaintiff
expected to be paid for same.
17. The fair and reasonable value of the goods and materials
sold by the plaintiff to the defendant and at the request of the
defendant for which the defendant have not paid is One Hundred
Five Thousand One Hundred and Ten and 17/100 ($105,110.17)
3
Dollars. (See Attachment “B”).
18. The defendant has been unjustly enriched by their failure
to pay for said commercial goods and materials, to the detriment
of the plaintiff.
19. Implied in every contract is the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing.
20. The defendant, by his actions and inactions, breached the
covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
21. As a result of the said defendant’s breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, the plaintiff has
22. On information and belief, the plaintiff alleges and avers
that defendant purchased some or all of the materials referenced
in the outstanding invoices when he knew or should have known
that he could not make timely payment therefor in contradiction
of the warranty and or covenants contained in the credit
application.
23. On information and belief, the plaintiff alleges and avers
that the defendant purchased some or all of the materials
referenced in the outstanding invoices when he knew or should
have known that he did not intend to timely pay for items at the
time that the obligations were incurred.
24, The plaintiff relied upon the ongoing representations made
by the defendant when he signed the credit application and
personal guaranty to extend and further extend credit to the
4
defendant.
25. On information and belief, plaintiff alleges and avers that
the defendant knew or should have known that the representations
that he made by signing the credit application and personal
guaranty which extended and were a part of each purchase
defendant made from plaintiff, were false as to each unpaid
order and was made to induce the plaintiff to extend and then
further extend credit to defendant.
26. By the terms of the credit application the defendant
warranted that any breach of any of its covenants and warranties
as to defendant’s solvency at the time of each order was an
intentional breach.
27. The plaintiff relied upon the ongoing representations made
by the defendant when he signed the credit application and
personal guaranty to extend and further extend credit to the
defendant to plaintiff’s detriment.
28. The plaintiff knows of no liability insurance available to
the defendant sufficient to pay the judgment that the plaintiff
expects to recover in this action.
29. In light of the fact that the defendant has repeatedly
failed, refused or neglected to pay this debt for materials
which the defendant accepted without reservation, the fact that
the defendant has failed and/or neglected to pay for all of the
purchases that he made with the plaintiff, the fact that the
5
Defendant last made payment on or about December 8, 2023 on
account, the fact that the outstanding debt spans from March 7,
2023 through and including May 9, 2023, the fact that on January
16, 2024, plaintiff’s counsel made demand of the defendant for
payment of the outstanding bill (a copy of which is annexed
hereto and incorporated herein as “C”) the fact that on
February 8, 2024, the defendant emailed back acknowledging owing
the full amount of the bill and promising to pay the entire
amount due on or before the end of March 2024(a copy of which is
annexed hereto and incorporated herein as “D” the fact that
defendant did not respond to plaintiff's counsel’s email asking
for a the date in March when plaintiff could expect payment
(a
copy of which is annexed hereto and incorporated herein as “E”)
to which the defendant failed to respond, the fact that on April
18, 2024 the plaintiff’s counsel sent still another email to the
defendant demanding payment to which the defendant also failed
to respond a copy of which is annexed hereto and incorporated
YP)
herein as and my resulting belief that defendant either
have no intention of voluntarily timely paying the full amount
of this debt and/or are in financial difficulty, I believe that
if plaintiff's ex parte motions for attachment on real estate
and the house built thereon(using plaintiff£’s building
supplies), there is a clear danger that defendant may convey or
encumber the defendant’s real property, and/or take other
6
efforts to further hinder the collection of this debt which the
defendant has acknowledged owing in writing.
