1Opinion of the Court
POSNER, Chief Judge.
This class suit against Plaza Finance Company seeks statutory (not compensatory) damages for violation of the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1601 et seq.-, § 1640(a). The district court granted summary judgment for the defendant largely on the basis of a district court decision, since reversed by the Fifth Circuit in Edwards v. Your Credit, Inc., 148 F.3d 427 (5th Cir.1998), in a case virtually identical to this one. A number of similar cases are pending elsewhere. Alvin C. Harrell, “Consumer Credit,” 52 Consumer Finance L.Q. Rep. 104,106 (1998).
