In a very important recent decision, the New York Appellate Division for the 3rd department held that a Merchant Cash Advance is a usurious loan instead of the purchase of receivables that it is purported to be. The decision came down in Crystal Springs Capital, Inc. v Big Thicket Coin, LLC, et al. This is an extremely important decision for multiple reasons. https://lnkd.in/eC96YYzi

Merchant Cash Advance lawsuits, collection and judgment defense are topics that we commonly help small business clients with and discuss in these blogs. However, MCA debt settlement is an important topic within the merchant cash advance field that needs to be discussed and understood as well. Settlement negotiation is a normal part of any litigation matter including merchant cash advances. In fact, most litigation matters, and MCA matters ultimately settle before reaching trial. Negotiating a settlement is based on a number of factors including legal leverage as well as practical reasons. Settling often saves both parties from having to spend funds on lengthy litigation and taking on the risk involved with litigation. https://lnkd.in/eJVu5_Ed

Merchant Cash Advances are notorious throughout the country when it comes to small and medium business funding. Although we have frequently discussed how to defend against their collection tactics and the legal defenses available in protecting against cash advance companies in lawsuits, it is also important to discuss other tactics that the MCA companies employ. https://lnkd.in/gBARKC56

LCS Capital, a private student loan debt-buyer creditor continues to be one of if not the most common student loan lenders pursuing collection and litigation. In the past, Sallie Mae and Navient were the primary student loan creditors who initiated litigation and were probably the largest private student loan creditors in the country for years. Recently, we do not see any lawsuits initiated by Sallie Mae and or Navient but instead, LCS and other debt-buyers such as Credit Corp Solutions primarily buy debt from them and pursue collection and ultimately litigation. Leopold and Associates, and Relin Goldstein & Crane are the most frequent debt collection law firms that represent LCS in collection and litigation. It is possible that Sallie Mae and Navient stopped initiating litigation after multiple class action cases against them as well as large settlements with government regulators. Instead, Sallie Mae now chooses to sell defaulted debt to companies like LCS and others for pennies on the dollar. https://lnkd.in/eUXhBsEq

The Merchant Cash Advance lenders above are some of the more common creditors that we have encountered recently defending businesses against the extremely high interest rate so called MCA “purchase of receivables,” contracts. We consistently find Michael Scarpati, of Regent and Associates, which seems to be a debt collection law firm representing these MCA lenders in lawsuits brought against businesses across the country. Interestingly, the law firm seems to be operating out of Texas although all of the cases that we have seen brought are in New York. Read on for more. https://lnkd.in/e2GjbWFV

Merchant Cash Advances are well known to most businesses across the country over the last five to ten years as they have become an increasingly popular form of alternative lending. The pandemic may have been the cause of the surge in MCA lending given that traditional banks were unwilling to take risks on lending to small and medium sized businesses.
