CashCall did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. In December, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and four state attorneys general announced a series of lawsuits against CashCall over its affiliation with the defunct online lender Western Sky Financial. The state of California's complaint described actions against CashCall in more than a dozen other states, including New York, which sued and later reached a settlement over loans made to Empire State residents. CashCall was founded by J. Paul Reddam, who previously ran the subprime mortgage lender Ditech.
