Exhibit 6 — Email Chain between Indiana Members Credit Union, SBA, and Prestamos — Marshall v. Prestamos CDFI
Summary
Exhibit 6, filed October 4, 2024 as Document 142-10 in Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG, is a July 2021 email chain in which Kelly Gridley of Indiana Members Credit Union listed deposits from Prestamos with red flags, such as no evidence of business activity, and asked Prestamos for a hold harmless before returning the funds. On July 26, 2021, SBA Special Investigative Counsel Mary Beth Cvengros wrote that borrowers may have withdrawn funds and SBA may have suffered a loss because of Prestamos' delay in investigating potential fraud on the loans, and by July 28 the credit union said checks payable to Prestamos CDFI would be processed and mailed.

Borrower [| eceived max and refused to provide documentation stating the lender didn’t require Schedule C when she applied and they created one for her. She originally said her business was established in 6/2020 and when she was told she wasn’t eligible, she got angry and stated she was about to lose her house. She became very irate with our staff and continued to call repeatedly after while funds were on hold. She was told her answers and unwillingness to provide support would be reported. Also cried again stating that she was about to lose her house and she’d never do anything illegal. Member has no evidence of business activity, no deposits to support this level of income and she has been receiving unemployment benefits for the last year. The member did w/d some in cash, but still has some available. We’d love to return funds if requested.

After talking to SBA, what she provided us matched what SBA shows but we can’t support the activity she’s documented and expenses don’t seem to align with the business or gross income reported. SBA asked to verify if there were any business expenses after the 1st draw and we weren’t able to provide any validation for that. We don’t feel comfortable returning without a hold harmless, but we did tell the borrower that we were reporting that we couldn’t validate her income or any business expenses that would have made her eligible for draw 2.
