Business ends over split with creditor on loans
23.05.12
The Rec Live Plus, which has gone out of business, had maxed out a $925,000 line of credit with First American Bank and the bank didnt conjecture the business had enough collateral to support its loans, court documents show.
First American foreclosed Nov. 17 on the Urbandale proprietorship that sells and services billiard tables, leisure equipment and patio fittings and equipment.
While the Rec Room had stayed current on its payments, the payments were interest-only and the full amount of the note $925,000 was due Sept. 29. In the sometime the bank had renegotiated the line of credit at the date of maturity, Rec Room P Gaylon Peterson said, but this time the bank said no.
The Rec Room had disputing equity, and the accumulated debt on three mortgages, operating loans and credit lines was more than $2 million, Peterson said.
Im not without sin in all this, Peterson said. We borrowed a lot of take, we lost a lot of money.
Court filings show the key reason for the foreclosure was bank skepticism over Petersons collateral, which he said was $2 million in inventory held at the Urbandale cache and a Rec Room location in Milwaukee.
In July, First American asked a Polk County think to appoint a receiver for the Rec Room. The banks lawyers said that while the Rec Room claimed to have $2 million in inventory, a third function could only verify $965,190. At least two semi loads of inventory were not accounted for, as was cash from the sales event of some inventory, the bank said.
The bank disagreed with Petersons projections on paying down his debts, and took matter with the accuracy of the Rec Rooms bookkeeping and inventory monitoring.
Plaintiffs believe their collateral placement has deteriorated below the borrowers claimed levels, the bank said in the July court filing.
When the note for the diagonal of credit came due in late September, the bank told Peterson it would not restore the loan, he said. This crippled the business.
On Nov. 7, Polk County Neighbourhood Judge Robert Blink authorized a receiver to take control of the Rec Rooms inventory in Urbandale and Milwaukee and vend it. Ten days later First American Bank foreclosed on the line of credit, which Peterson could not square with, and also foreclosed on a third mortgage on the store itself.
Officials at First American Bank said they could not comment on the Rec Dwellings financial situation beyond whats available in court filings.
Peterson has first and second mortgages on the Urbandale keep with Bankers Trust and the Small Business Administration.
He said Wednesday that his affair grew too fast in the mid-2000s, expanding to up to six locations. He thinks the prudent fetish for him to do would have been to give up in 2009 after the economy crashed and turn the business over to the bank, but he wanted to try to pay back his loans. He said it would have charmed eight years of hard work for little profit for him to dig out, but he thought it was possible.
