Indiana Court of Appeals
Financial Center First Credit Union v. Miguel Rivera
21A-CC-845
Civil collection. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s denial of Financial Center First Credit Union’s motion to compel arbitration and to stay proceedings. Finds the credit union introduced ambiguity on appeal as to whether it sought to compel arbitration of just Miguel Rivera’s underlying individual claim or of the amended counterclaim as a whole, including the class action allegations. Also finds the credit union cannot arbitrate Rivera’s individual claim because it had already answered the claim and then filed for summary judgment. Finally, finds the credit union cannot arbitrate Rivera’s class action claim because the plain language of the contract states class action claims cannot be arbitrated.
