The Facts
6. On or about November 30, 2020, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into an agreement (the
"Agreement") whereby Plaintiff agreed to purchase rights to Company Defendant's future
receivables having an agreed upon value of $144,000.00.
7. Pursuant to the Agreement, Company Defendant agreed to exclusively use one bank
account approved by Plaintiff (the “Account”) into which the Company Defendant agreed to deposit
all of its receipts and from which Plaintiff was authorized to make daily ACH withdrawals until
$144,000.00 was fully paid to Plaintiff.
8. The Agreement provided that in the event Company Defendant used a bank account
other than the Account, closed the Account without prior authorization of Plaintiff, or otherwise
prevented Plaintiff from making the agreed upon ACH withdrawals, the Company Defendant was
in default of the Agreement.
9. In addition, Guarantor agreed to guarantee any and all amounts owed to Plaintiff from
Company Defendant upon Company Defendant’s breach in performance of its Agreement
obligations.
10. Plaintiff remitted the purchase price for the future receivables to Company Defendant as
agreed and thereby fulfilled all of its Agreement obligations.
11. On or about February 24, 2021, Company Defendant blocked Plaintiff’s access to the
Account without the required 24 hours advance notice to Plaintiff, thereby preventing Plaintiff from
making the agreed upon ACH withdrawals and, as such, defaulted under the terms of the Agreement.
12. Company Defendant made payments totaling $43,200.00 leaving a balance of
$100,800.00. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, Company Defendant incurred NSF fees in the
amount of $35.00 and a default account fee in the amount of $2,500.00.

action constituting a default or breach of any of covenants or warranties contained in the Agreement.
Any outstanding balance owed by the Company Defendant at the time of default became
immediately due and payable.
