Heading: Class Representative Jimmie Sue Spencer

Text: Payday Advance alleges that Ms. Spencer is unable to adequately and fairly represent the class because she is involved in other class action suits against other check cashers, and she has inadequate knowledge of the case. In her deposition, Ms. Spencer stated that she did business with Payday Advance and that the class action suits were based on the fact that the companies charge too much interest for the service that they are providing. She stated her goal as a class representative: My goal is, I think that personally if they are going to offer this service, they should do it at a more reasonable, they should not be allowed to charge that much interest because most people aren't aware of it.... I would like for people not, common people, just working every day, working class people, who live from pay check to pay check, not to be taken advantage of because they can do it. She speaks with the attorneys once or twice a week. She said that she will be able to take time off from work as needed, that her attorneys had explained the duties of a class representative, and that she understood them. The trial court did not err in ruling that Ms. Spencer could adequately and fairly represent the class.
