Legal Defenses Against MCA Funders

Merchant cash advance (MCA) loans provide quick capital but often at a steep long-term cost. Their high rates and aggressive collection tactics push many small businesses into financial distress. However, certain legal defenses can help business owners fight back against predatory MCAs.

Unconscionability

• Unconscionable agreements are those so one-sided and unfair, courts may void the contract. Factors making MCA loans potentially unconscionable include:
  • Excessively high interest rates
  • Misleading statements about costs
  • Terms grossly favoring the lender
• Legal precedents like Bazemore v. Jefferson Capital Systems confirm courts willingness to void MCA loans with unconscionable terms. Those facing aggressive collection from an MCA with questionable terms can raise this defense.

Usury Violations

• Usury laws restrict lenders from imposing excessive interest rates, typically above legal maximums between 6-25%.
  • MCA loans often carry effective rates far exceeding these levels. This report found average MCA rates from 94% to 370%.
• Violating state usury laws can make loans void or interest rates capped at legal limits. Recent cases like K9 Bytes v. Arch Capital Funding demonstrate usury defenses can effectively fight MCA lenders.
• The Uniform Commercial Code may also constrain interest charged by MCA lenders in some cases. Those facing collections can raise usury violations to contest debts.

RICO Violations

• The federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act provides treble damages against enterprises engaged in illegal loan sharking.
  • Predatory MCA lending increasingly faces scrutiny for potential organized crime ties that could violate RICO.
• Plaintiffs can sue for triple damages under civil RICO provisions. The prospect of substantial judgements presents risks making MCA lenders more cautious.

For small business owners facing aggressive collections from MCA lenders, exploring defenses around unconscionability, usury violations or potential RICO claims may provide leverage in contesting debts. Consultation with legal counsel can help evaluate the viability of these options.
