The First Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the District Court of Massachusetts dismissal of a putative class action raising claims under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and Massachusetts unfair or deceptive trade practices law. In Shaner v. Chase Bank USA, NA, the named plaintiff (Shaner) claimed that, as a result of her own default, Chase twice increased her annual percentage rate (APR) at the beginning of the billing cycles without notice prior to the first date the APR was applied. The notice was on Shaner’s billing statement, was consistent with Chase’s credit card agreement with Shaner, and stated that “[t]he new APR and promotional rate expiration reflected on this statement is a result of a late payment on your account.”
