Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC v. Joey R. Reid

Filed: Jan 2, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s cut straight to the drama: a healthcare finance company is suing a guy named Joey R. Reid for $72,019.82—over seventy-two thousand dollars—because he stopped paying his loan. That’s not the wildest part. The wildest part? This whole thing reads like a financial horror story disguised as a PDF: a high-interest, unsecured personal loan with fees baked into the principal, automatic bank drafts, robocalls, and a clause that says you can’t sue in a class action. It’s less “I need money” and more “I sold my soul to a Delaware-based bank and now the devil’s collection agency is calling.”

So who are these people? On one side, we’ve got Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC—not a bank, by the way, despite the name. It’s a third-party financial services company that partners with County Bank (a real bank, based in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware) to offer personal loans, often marketed to medical professionals. Their whole shtick? “You’re a doctor, nurse, or healthcare worker with good credit? Here’s a big pile of cash at a not-so-great interest rate.” On the other side: Joey R. Reid, a man from Tulsa County, Oklahoma, who, at some point in late 2024, signed on the dotted line for a $77,700 loan with an annual interest rate of 21.49%—a number so high it should come with a warning label. For context, that’s higher than most credit cards. Higher than payday loans in some states. It’s the kind of interest rate that makes compound interest look like a supervillain.

Here’s how this financial telenovela unfolded: In November 2024, Joey signed an Unsecured Promissory Note—a fancy way of saying “I promise to pay you back, but you can’t take my stuff if I don’t.” The loan was for $77,700, but thanks to a 5% origination fee and prepaid interest, the actual cash Joey received was less. He was supposed to start paying $1,579.14 per month beginning December 20, 2024. That’s over eighteen grand a year, for ten years. For an unsecured loan. No collateral. No house, no car, no lien on his kidney. Just trust. And a stack of legal paperwork longer than a CVS receipt.

Spoiler: Joey didn’t pay. At least, not all of it. According to the filing, he “breached the Promissory Note” by failing to make payments as required. The company, now acting as the assignee of the original lender, says Joey still owes $72,019.82—plus interest, plus attorney fees, plus the emotional toll of being on the receiving end of automated reminder calls and texts. They even attached an affidavit from someone claiming to be a records custodian (though the signature is illegible and dated May 1998, which, if real, means this person was testifying about a 2024 loan over 25 years before it happened—so, uh, take that with a grain of salt). The company claims it made a demand for payment. Joey didn’t respond. Cue the lawsuit.

Now, why are they in court? Legally, it’s simple: breach of contract. Joey signed a binding agreement promising to repay the loan. He didn’t. The lender (or its assignee) is now asking the court to step in and say, “Yep, he owes it.” No fraud. No theft. No dramatic betrayal. Just a broken promise to pay, enforced by the cold, unfeeling hand of civil procedure. The claim hinges entirely on whether the promissory note is valid, whether Joey actually defaulted, and whether the amount claimed is accurate. The company says yes, yes, and yes. Joey hasn’t said anything—yet. He hasn’t filed a response, at least not in the documents we’ve seen. So right now, it’s a one-sided story, like a breakup letter where only one person got to speak.

And what do they want? $72,019.82, plus interest at the “highest rate allowable by law,” court costs, and attorney fees. Is that a lot? Oh, absolutely. For context, that’s more than the average annual salary in Tulsa County. It’s a down payment on a house. It’s ten years of student loan payments. It’s a lot for a personal loan that wasn’t secured by anything. But here’s the kicker: the original loan was for $77,700. Joey paid something—just not enough. The company isn’t asking for the full amount, which suggests he made a few payments before dropping off the radar. Still, demanding over 90% of the original balance back suggests either very few payments were made or the interest is piling up like dirty laundry.

Now, our take: what’s the most absurd part of this? It’s not the interest rate. It’s not the robocalls. It’s not even the 1998 affidavit. It’s the sheer scale of the operation. This isn’t some mom-and-pop lender. This is a machine: a Delaware shell bank issues a loan, a New York-based financial firm handles the servicing, the borrower is in Oklahoma, the lawsuit is filed in Tulsa County, and the whole thing is governed by Delaware law. It’s a textbook example of how modern debt collection is less about personal relationships and more about financial engineering. Joey probably clicked through this loan online, signed digitally, got the money deposited, and then—life happened. Maybe he lost income. Maybe he got sick. Maybe he just realized that paying nearly $1,600 a month for a decade at 21.5% interest was a terrible idea. Whatever the reason, now he’s staring down a lawsuit that could wreck his credit, lead to wage garnishment, and follow him for years.

Are we rooting for Joey? Not exactly. He signed the contract. He knew the terms. But are we side-eyeing a system that lets a company charge 21.5% interest on an unsecured loan, bundle fees into the principal, and then sue for tens of thousands in a distant court? Absolutely. This isn’t just about one guy who defaulted. It’s about how easy it is to fall into a debt trap when the fine print is longer than the loan term. And if Joey loses, the court might not just order him to pay—it might give the lender access to his employment records through the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. That’s not just collecting a debt. That’s financial surveillance.

So here we are: a seven-figure interest rate in all but name, a borrower in Oklahoma, a bank in Delaware, and a finance company in New York playing whack-a-mole with delinquent loans. It’s not a murder. It’s not a scandal. But in its own quiet, bureaucratic way, it’s just as chilling. Because sometimes, the most terrifying thing isn’t a knife in the dark—it’s a $1,579.14 monthly payment you can’t afford.

Reid (Collectionevely and individually known as the "Borrower") Principal Amount Expected Funding Date Maturity Date Annual Interest Rate Loan Number $77,700.00 11/19/2024 11/20/2034 21.49000 % 10642576 In this Unsecured Promissory Note, which includes the Unsecured Promissory Note Truth in Lending Disclosure (the "TIA Disclosures"). The Arbitration Clause in Exhibit A and Lender's privacy policy (collectively, the "Note"). The words "Borrower," "you" and "your" mean, collectively and individually, each Borrower identified above. The words "Lender," "we," "us," and "our" mean the lender identified above and its assignees, assignees and service providers (including, but not limited to, Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC. (BHG). Arbitration Notice: EXHIBIT A IS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE WHICH WILL APPLY TO YOU UNLESS YOU REJECT IT AS PROVIDED IN EXHIBIT A OR YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OR A DEPENDENT OF SUCH A MEMBER (I.E., A COVERED BORROWER) PROTECTED BY THE FEDERAL MILITARY LENDING ACT. IF APPLICABLE, THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN YOU AND US. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION RELATING TO MATTERS ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE. PROMISE TO PAY. You hereby promise to pay to Lender, or its Order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Seventy Seven Thousand Seven Hundred DOLLARS And Zero CENTS ($77,700.00) (the "Principal Amount"), together with interest due on the unpaid Principal Amount hereunder and any other fees or charges you owe us as provided for under this Note. The Principal Amount includes the Prepaid Interest, the Origination Fee and, if applicable, the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax. ESTIMATES IN TILA DISCLOSURES If an amount is given to you directly, we had to estimate the Annual Percentage Rate, Finance Charge, Total of Payments and Payment Schedule in the TIA Disclosures above because we did not know exactly when the proceeds of the loan (the "Loan Proceeds") would be disbursed. This estimate is based on the date we expect to electronically transfer the funds to the bank account you designated on the form entitled "Bank Account Information for ACH Funding" during the application process (the "Bank Account") (i.e., the Expected Funding Date), one Business Day as defined below; from the loan date indicated in the signature block below if you complete the transaction before 5:00 p.m. ET. Banking delays or holidays, or delays in making contact with you to verify the provided information may cause the Loan Proceeds to be disbursed later than estimated. INTEREST. This is a loan with a fixed rate. The Annual Interest Rate, stated in the above table, for this Note is applied on a 30/360 basis (i.e., the Annual Interest Rate is divided by 360 and applied as if each month has 30 days, regardless of the number of actual days in a month). You agree to pay us interest as described below. Prepaid Interest. We charge Prepaid Interest on the Principal Amount for the "Interim Period." The Interim Period is the period that begins on the date that we actually disburse the Loan Proceeds to you until the last day of the month in which you execute the Note. The Prepaid Interest is equal to the amount disclosed in the Itemization of Amount Financed in your TILA Disclosures under "Prepaid Finance Charges." The Prepaid Interest is included in the Principal Amount on which we charge interest but is deducted from the amount of the Loan Proceeds that are actually disbursed to you. This means that the amount of the Loan Proceeds to be disbursed to you will be reduced by the amount of the Prepaid Interest and as a result will be a lesser amount than you requested. We will rebate any unearned portion of the Prepaid Interest pursuant to applicable law if you prepay in full. Periodic Interest. We charge Periodic Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount each day starting on the first day after the Interim Period until the date the loan is paid in full. ADDITIONAL PREPAID FINANCE CHARGES. We charge the additional prepaid finance charges indicated below, as applicable, that are due in full at origination and are included in the Principal Amount of your loan. For the purposes of the TILA Disclosures, those prepaid finance charges are disclosed under "Prepaid Finance Charges" in the Itemization of the Amount Financed but are not included in the Amount Financed. You acknowledge that each of the fees below is included in the Principal Amount on which we charge interest. Origination Fee: You agree to pay us a non-refundable origination fee that is equal to 5.00% of the initial principal amount (i.e., the Principal Amount prior to inclusion of the Origination Fee) and indicated in the Itemization of Amount Financed in your TILA Disclosures under "Prepaid Finance Charges." The non-refundable origination fee is included in the Principal Amount, but it does not impact the amount of the Loan Proceeds that are disbursed to you. Florida Documentary Stamp Tax (Florida Residents Only). For Florida residents, the amount of any Florida Documentary Stamp Tax due in connection with your loan is indicated in the Itemization of the Amount Financed in your TILA Disclosures under "Prepaid Finance Charges." If the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax is due, it is included in the Principal Amount but is deducted from the Loan Proceeds. This means that the amount of the Loan Proceeds to be disbursed to you will be reduced by the amount of the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax and as a result will be a lesser amount than you requested. LATE FEE. If any payment is not paid in full within 5 days after its scheduled payment date, you agree to pay a "Late Fee" equal to the lesser of $40.00 or 5.00% of the outstanding amount of the scheduled payment. You authorize us to collect Late Fees by initiating an ACH debit from the Bank Account. Any Late Fee assessed is immediately due and payable. Any payment received by us on a day that is not a Business Day or after 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. A "Business Day" is defined as Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and any day that banks in Delaware are closed. INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE: You agree to pay an "Insufficient Funds Fee" of $20 if an Automatic Payment or check is returned due to insufficient funds in your applicable account or for any other reason as permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge that the bank that holds your applicable account may charge an additional fee. Each attempt to collect a payment is considered a separate transaction, so an Insufficient Funds Fee may be assessed for each failed attempt. For example, if an Automatic Payment or check is returned for Insufficient Funds, we may charge you an Insufficient Funds Fee. If the Automatic Payment or check is submitted for payment again and it is returned again for Insufficient Funds, we may charge you an Insufficient Funds Fee the second time the item was presented for payment and returned for Insufficient Funds. PAYMENT. You will pay regular monthly payments of unpaid principal and accrued interest in the amount of One Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Nine DOLLARS And Fourteen CENTS ($1,579.14) commencing on 12/20/2024, and on the same day of each successive month thereafter until 11/20/2034, by one of the methods described in the paragraph entitled "Payment Options" below. If the monthly payment is due on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month, and a payment is required during a month that does not have a 29th, 30th, or 31st day, the monthly payment will be due on the last day of the month in which the payment was due. <table> <tr> <th>NUMBER OF PAYMENT(S)</th> <th>MONTHLY PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST</th> <th>COMMENCING ON</th> </tr> <tr> <td>120</td> <td>$1,579.14</td> <td>12/20/2024</td> </tr> </table> PAYMENT OPTIONS.

Please call 1-866-588-7910 for more information. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.
