United States Seventh Circuit

In plaintiff's action against Target alleging that it had violated sections 127 and 132 of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Target and denial of plaintiff's motion for class certification of TILA claims is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not clearly err in denying plaintiff's motion for class certification of her section 1642 claim as it is readily apparent that her claim is very different from the claims of the majority of the class members; and 2) district court did not err in denying plaintiff's motion for class certification with respect to the section 1637 claims as plaintiff was ineligible to serve as a class representative because she did not have a claim under either section 1637(a) or section 1637(b).
