I don't particularly like the credit-card analogies I'm seeing around here. There is a big difference; a credit card is an open line of credit, which is not the case for these loans.

After a credit card is paid off "in full" (for example's sake let's assume a 10k card), you can then use that to spend 10k. You still have access to 10k worth of "buying power".

A loan like this is different. Once it's paid, Revlon (even though this isn't Revlon's fault) can't just turn around and draw down the line again. That's the difference between a loan and a line of credit.

The fact that it is widely believed that Revlon will be bankrupt before actually paying off this loan just makes it more likely that Brigade is taking advantage of the situation with no true belief that this was nothing more than a mistake.
