I probably get 3-4 emails from these types of companies per week. Wish someone would setup a fake email address and do a round of email blasts offering debt settlement services. Any ISO that that responds seeking these services should be outed.

I wonder if all lenders/funders will now cut off those iso or will mcaguru still offer them double digit commissions?
Making them lose their entire renewal book can hurt even more than the outcome of the lawsuit.

Good point. I'm sure the point of this is to scare ISOs. Stop the ISOs from participating in this **** and most of the problem goes away.
With that having been said, I've seen another hustle by ISOs lately: stacking a bunch of advances while promising merchants they'll consolidate them. Once they're stacked, they disappear on the merchant. Had a merchant reach out to me last month who did 4 advances in 2 days with a broker promising to consolidate them. I told the merchant he can't put that all on the broker -- he's to blame himself. But it's an all around ****ty practice.

Why does the filing use the words "exclusive" rights to debit account? Also curious about language regarding the security interest in the cash in a merchants bank account. Is the case implying that the merchant's other vendors don't have a right to debit account? I'm failing to see the logic in Proskauer argument here and the Conversion claim. A security agreement does give not a funder the right to control who can and cannot debit a merchant's cash account. What am I missing here? If there is no event of default, no cash in the account belongs to the funder as they purchased future receivables. Why not limit the scope of the filing to the violation of the ISO agreement?

(A few of us were asking on here....why are you allowing these people to market debt restructuring along with cash advances and no one responded. I thought the silencet might be that they have it handled and would team up., but not telegraph their moves. Yeah yellowstone and everest.)
I would assume the conversion argument would be that they convinced or helped people get cash advances.. while simultaneously
tossing out the idea of "hey you do not have to pay it back, because"
deceptive practices ..."you can take money from these people, but I have another company that steps into force a settlement after you dont pay" ( and even if you didnt do this, having 2 companies can cause a conflict of interest in somes eyes)
These things wind up getting thrown back in peoples faces, they tried that with Loans...mods. Then when the Lender/investor didn't play ball the client/merchant rolls on you " he made me do it, I didnt understand"
Also when their credit gets fkd....they will want it fixed, then again they blame the person who had the bright idea.
Some people legitimately need help ...took an advance than had competition open across the street, had a heart attack etc. But most of these companies use high pressure tactics to lure some ethical people who are not in trouble into doing it.
It's the equivalent of a lawyer coaching people into bankruptcy to scam money.People go bankrupt...but it's not supposed to be a preplanned thing, coached by a broker ,lawyer or telemarketing who makes money on both ends ....They say take money then you can default after,
It can cross the line to fraud, deceptive practices, illegal conversion etc...not just losing an Iso agreement, a civil judgement ,cease and desist or injunctionLast edited by Karen37a; 09-28-2017 at 06:34 PM.

I too applaud calling out and holding these and any other unethical entities accountable. 1st degree manipulation of funders and sometimes taking advantage of whipsawed clients.
But the uncomfortable question needs to be asked: Isn't funders stacking each other excessively 2nd degree so to speak? Contracts do matter last I checked.

No. Conversion is the intent to take ownership of Chattel inconsistent with real owners rights. In this case it refers the debt consolidators debiting the bank accounts and YS EBF are claiming rights or defacto ownership of the bank accounts due the security agreement and the UCC. The merchant has the right to bank account not the funder unless there is a event of default. So essentially YS and EBF are asserting that they have the right to cash in the merchants bank account even if no default. Would love any attorneys on here to give clarification.

If thats the case they are making its not the right course of action. I didnt read it.
I am telling you from first hand experience(I didnt do it,saw competitors), they sell a cash advance ( or loan) with the caveat ( or simultaneous verbal declaration )that they can default and they will help them skip out on the payments with no negative repurcussions.
Many Loan mod companies , lenders were raided for numerous violations

It's not and moreover while the filing addresses the true up nature of MCA as well the risk taken by YS and EBF because an MCA is not loan. Asserting dominion over a merchants bank account does not do the "Mca" is not a loan and the funders have an unsecured purchase of future receivables argument any favors.

If the debt consoldators debited the merchants account per their agreemrnt with the merchant it is not theft. The merchant may have a valid legal claim against the consolidator for breach or non performance But the point is that YS and EBF are asserting that the cash in merchants account belonged to them due to their security interest and UCC. It's a not a valid argument in my opinion but let's wait for an attorney to chime in.
