In finance, not all lenders operate with your best interests in mind. Usury, the practice of charging excessively high interest rates, and predatory merchant cash advance loans can trap borrowers in a cycle of debt. At NY Hope, we are committed to protecting you from these exploitative practices and providing the guidance you need to navigate financial challenges safely.
Usury refers to the illegal action of lending money at unreasonably high interest rates. Usury laws are in place to protect consumers from lenders who seek to exploit borrowers through excessive interest charges. These laws vary by state but generally set a maximum interest rate that lenders can charge.
In New York, the legal interest rate for most loans is capped at 16% per annum. Charging interest rates above this cap is considered usury and is illegal. However, some lenders try to circumvent these laws, putting borrowers at risk of financial harm.
The Dangers of Predatory Merchant Cash Advance Loans
Merchant cash advance (MCA) loans are a type of financing where businesses receive a lump sum of cash in exchange for a portion of their future sales. While MCAs can provide quick access to funds, they often come with extremely high fees and interest rates, making them predatory lending.
MCAs can have effective interest rates that far exceed traditional loan rates, sometimes reaching triple digits.
Payments are often taken directly from daily sales, which can strain cash flow and make daily operations difficult to manage.
The terms and conditions of MCAs can be complex and difficult to understand, leading to unexpected costs and obligations.
