Yenko v. Crown Asset Management
Plaintiff Teresita Joya Yenko filed a putative class action lawsuit against defendant Crown Asset Management, LLC (Crown), a debt buyer that purchased plaintiff’s alleged charged-off credit card debt. Crown moved to compel arbitration based on an arbitration provision in an agreement between plaintiff and the issuing bank, Synchrony Bank (Synchrony). The trial court granted the motion to compel arbitration, dismissed plaintiff’s class claims, and ordered plaintiff to arbitrate her individual claims against defendant. Plaintiff contends the trial court erred because (1) Crown failed to meet its burden to show the existence of an arbitration agreement, (2) Crown was not assigned the right to arbitrate, and (3) plaintiff’s claim against Crown falls outside the scope of the arbitration agreement. We conclude plaintiff’s arguments lack merit and affirm the trial court’s order.
