The Military Lending Act sets a 36% Military Annual Percentage Rate cap on covered consumer credit, and the complaint alleges CashNetUSA's loans carried MAPRs from approximately 222% to 579%, depending on the loan and state. The complaint further alleges that CashNetUSA failed to provide required MLA disclosures, required borrowers to give access to their bank accounts as security, included mandatory arbitration provisions, required borrowers to waive jury-trial and class-action rights, and imposed unreasonable pre-suit notice requirements. According to the lawsuit, these violations render the affected loans void from inception, and the plaintiffs seek damages and other relief. The plaintiff alleges she obtained a CashNetUSA loan in November 2023 while her husband was on active duty, and that CashNetUSA approved her for a $2,000 credit limit at a 229% MAPR. By June 2025, she alleges she had taken at least seven loans and still owed $703.79 despite making thousands of dollars in payments, mostly interest. The suit seeks to represent active-duty servicemembers and their dependents or spouses who entered into covered CashNetUSA or [NetCredit](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0006dsr/netcredit) loans and made at least one payment. ## CashNetUSA's Enova Ownership and State Footprint [CashNetUSA](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000b7tp/cashnetusa) is operated as a subsidiary of Enova International, Inc.
