    Some Questions For When COJ'S Go Away

    Here are some but I am sure there are many many more things I haven't even thought of


    Will COJ's signed before the law goes into effect be able to be filed or will the date of the law mean the end of filing COJ's for the industry? No clue

    How far out will companies be comfortable going without a COJ? I think no father then 3rd maybe some crazies will go 4th

    How many companies with small to no collections departments will now see their overheads scyrocket because they need collections people when before they just had a lawyer file the COJ? This will be a problem or I think so anyway

    Will split deals make a comeback when companies are unable to stack bank accounts anymore? Yes I think there will be more

    How many ISO's go out of business because they don't know how to generate 1st and 2nd position business? Lots

    How many funders lose their lines because their numbers were based on using COJ's

    Guys. Seriously: COJs are good for 1% of the money.
    The other 85% pays
    And 14% gets collected without a COJ

    not at the high risk funding shops. I think your numbers are way off. I also think it is a security blanket that many funders have gotten used to and when it goes away it will have a big effect

    What type of high risk offers are going to disappear, if a COJ isn't an option?

    Seems like there is still a lot of high risk offers out there where the risk model isn't built around the COJ.

    1% of money is collected through COJs

    85% through regular payments
    14% through other methods

    there are a couple of funders who do high risk deals without a COJ but not many. I personally dont think you will see anymore of the crazy 6th 7th 8th position deals. If collections is going to be based on UCC's like it used to be before COJ's came into play companies will not be able to do these type of deals, the risk will be too high

    Today is like a holiday. I'll mark it down on my calendar and celebrate it each year as the day predatory lenders, abusive funders and sham artist finally caused enough carnage that the government stepped in and bailed out the other guys. The ones who decided to keep their hands in their pockets when everyone else was grabbing without cause. Without legal right. Do I think COJ's are to blame? No. I only blame the guys that decided to use it as a weapon. COJ's have been around a lot longer than Yellowstone and Richmond Capital and served a more important purpose in an MCA than fraudulently filing them to cash and grab from already desperate merchants. They were used to screw the scumbag merchants who didn't pay. The ones who deserved it. Now, that won't be possible, and truly that does suck. For the amount of risk we take on borderline credible merchants, no COJ effectively makes them unfundable. I don't want to hear about "Now Funders need to ACTUALLY underwrite their deals" because that's bull****. A COJ had nothing to do with the underwrite. It was simply there for risk of fraud on a poor scored borrower. Then it became a doc to make a funder more comfortable to give a merchant WAY more money than they deserved, on top of already expensive and toxic MCA debt. Maybe to some this is more like D-Day. To me, it's the beginning of a better potential future for our clients. It's a blessing.

    What's the whole point of the contract then? And all the legal verbiage in the event a merchant defaults? The contract itself should hold up in court, even against real fraudsters. The real benefit the COJ gave was the timing it took to recoup the money

    Unfortunately regulators felt is was being abused. COJ required funders were executing the COJ when companies were not actually in default and in some cases seizing assets will above what was owed....not by a little.....A LOT. Some felt that the users of COJs were using them as a tool to grab funds from good customers that barely defaulted over and above what was owed to cover losses with customers that never paid back.

    the question is on the 85% how many continued paying because they signed a coj?I recently saw a merchant that had 5 positions and only defaulted on the 2 that did not have a coj.

    Just wait until they dig deeper and find that a funder often stacks THEMSELVES causing the default and then swoops the COJ into the courthouse. Now that will be interesting.

    Correct...but now one will have to go through normal legal channels. That takes time...and money

    So youre saying that if merchants were defaulting on the ones without COJs, then all those funders not using COJ have it backwards? 1 file isnt a sample size. Funders need to stay below about 12% default rate, with or without.
