What are the elements of a claim for usury and fraud?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Matracia v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, NO. CIV. 2:11-190 WBS JFM (E.D. Cal. 2011):

To the extent plaintiffs attempt to state a claim for "usury and fraud," the claim also fails. The elements of a claim for usury are: "(1) The transaction must be a loan or forbearance; (2) the interest to be paid must exceed the statutory maximum; (3) the loan and interest must be absolutely repayable by the borrower; and (4) the lender must have a willful intent to enter into a usurious transaction." Ghirardo v. Antonioli, 8 Cal. 4th 791, 798 (1994).
