INTERROGATORY NO. 7: 
State the principal facts RELATING TO whether YOUR PERSONAL 
INFORMATION was compromised, including whether YOUR PERSONAL 
INFORMATION, wallet, CARD, or cellphone were ever stolen, and whether YOU 
were notified by a THIRD PARTY (e.g. government agency, employer, merchant, 
website) that YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION may have been compromised. 
RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 7: 
Plaintiff incorporates by reference the Preliminary Statement and General 
Objections. 
Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory as vague and ambiguous to the extent it 
asks “whether YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION was compromised” and on 
the ground that it is overbroad, not proportional to the needs of this case, and 
ambiguous as to the included time period. Plaintiff further objects to this 
Interrogatory on the ground that it requests information regarding cell phones, 
wallets and notifications by a THIRD PARTY about potential compromises of 
Plaintiff’s PERSONAL INFORMATION that is unrelated to the claims made by 
Plaintiff and it is therefore overbroad and not proportional to the needs of this case. 
Plaintiff further objects to this Interrogatory as compound and counting as multiple 
distinct interrogatories.   
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Plaintiff responds 
as follows:   
Plaintiff’s personal information was obtained without authorization with 
respect to the transaction at issue. Plaintiff received an EDD Debit Card with a 
magnetic stripe (but no EMV chip) to access benefits. Through the course of his 
relationship with Bank of America Plaintiff suffered at least one unauthorized 
transaction on Plaintiff’s account.  Each unauthorized transaction was timely 
reported to Bank of America.

In July of 2020, Plaintiff began collecting benefits of approximately $934.00 
every two weeks.  
In September of 2020, Plaintiff’s account had approximately $1,892.00 in 
unauthorized transactions. Plaintiff discovered the unauthorized transactions when 
Bank of America sent her a monthly paper copy of her bank statement as per her 
request. As soon as Plaintiff saw the statement, she called Bank of America. 
Plaintiff reported to Bank of America that there were a series of transaction she did 
not authorize, including hotel room purchases and other goods and services. Bank 
of America informed Plaintiff that she would be given provisional credit and a new 
card. The new card arrived shortly after.  
On November 19, 2020, Bank of America reimbursed Plaintiff’s account 
with $611.00. On November 24, 2020, Bank of America reimbursed Plaintiff’s 
account with $323.58.  
On December 10, 2020, Plaintiff noticed another unauthorized transaction of 
$80.00 on her account and called Bank of America to report it as fraud.  
 On December 11, 2020, Bank of America sent Plaintiff a letter stating that a 
claim for $1,181.00 was closed because they believed there was suspicious activity 
on the account.  
INTERROGATORY NO. 8: 
State the principal facts RELATED TO all YOUR CLAIMS, including the 
date of the CLAIM, the manner in which the CLAIM was submitted or 
communicated to BANA, IDENTIFYING all TRANSACTIONS included in the 
CLAIM, the interest YOU believe YOU are entitled to and the basis for that belief, 
IDENTIFYING the PERSON YOU believe made the transaction, whether YOU 
knew a TRANSACTION subject to a CLAIM was authorized by YOU or by 
someone with authority to use YOUR CARD or ACCOUNT, and the information 
provided to BANA about the disputed TRANSACTION (including but not limited 
to any DOCUMENTS or COMMUNICATIONS provided to BANA).

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 56: 
Plaintiff incorporates by reference the Preliminary Statement and General 
Objections as if expressly set forth herein. 
Plaintiff objects to this Request as overbroad and unduly burdensome to the 
extent “all DOCUMENTS” seeks documents that are neither relevant to any claim 
or defense in this action, nor proportional to the needs of this case. Plaintiff also 
objects to this request as unduly burdensome to the extent that it seeks information 
that is not in Plaintiff’s possession, custody or control, is public, in the possession 
of third parties, or is more readily accessible to or already in the possession of 
Defendant. 
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Plaintiff will 
produce non-privileged, responsive documents in Plaintiff’s possession, custody, 
or control that are located after a reasonable search, to the extent such documents 
exist.  Discovery and investigation are ongoing and Plaintiff reserves the right to 
supplement Plaintiff’s production.
