Rose v. Household Fin. Corp. II

Bruce A. Rose filed suit against the lender, Household Finance Corporation II “HFC”, alleging that HFC incorrectly charged interest on Rose’s unsecured revolving line of credit with HFC the “subject loan”. Rose, appearing pro se, appeals from the trial court’s order granting summary judgment to HFC on the grounds of res judicata based upon the adjudication of the parties’ prior action regarding the subject loan. Rose contends that the doctrine of res judicata did not apply in this case, and that the trial court’s erroneous ruling was based on a void judgment. Discerning no error, we affirm.

“On appeal from the grant of summary judgment this Court conducts a de novo review of the evidence to determine whether there is a genuine issue of material fact and whether the undisputed facts, viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, warrant judgment as a matter of law.” Citations and punctuation omitted.
