The Honorable
John Laurie,
Judge Presiding.


JUSTICE COUSINS delivered the opinion of the court:

In September 1998, plaintiff filed a nine-count complaint againstGrossinger Motorcorp, Inc. (Grossinger or defendant). Count I was dismissed. Defendant's motion for summary judgment as to counts II, III, VI, VII, VIII,and IX was granted. Defendant's motion for summary judgment as to counts IVand V was denied. Plaintiff later voluntarily dismissed counts IV and V. Plaintiff now appeals from the order granting defendant's motion for summaryjudgment as to counts II, III, VI, VII, VIII, and IX of plaintiff's complaint. The issues upon appeal are: (1) whether the trial court erred ingranting summary judgment in favor of defendant relating to plaintiff'sconversion claim; (2) whether the trial court erred in granting summaryjudgment in favor of defendant relating to plaintiff's wrongful repossessionclaim; (3) whether the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favorof defendant relating to plaintiff's claim under the Truth in Lending Act(TILA) (15 U.S.C.
