A classic example and defense.
MILWAUKEE - Oprah Winfrey's mother says she shouldn't have to pay a
nearly $156,000 debt to a high-end fashion store because store
officials shouldn't have extended credit to her.
Valentina Inc. alleges that Vernita Lee of Milwaukee racked up
$155,547 in purchases and interest as of July 1. The company sued,
saying Lee fell behind in minimum monthly payments of $2,000.
Lee filed a counterclaim Friday contending that Valentina took
advantage of her "lack of knowledge, ability, and-or capacity" when
creating her credit account.
Court papers say Lee resolved a 2002 case with the company over a
$175,000 bill. The resolution prohibited Valentina from extending
further credit to her.

returned Tuesday
