authorities: Wilder Corp. v. Wilke, 330 S.C. 71, 76, 497 S.E.2d 731, 733 (1998)
("It is axiomatic that an issue cannot be raised for the first time on appeal, but must
have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial [court] to be preserved for appellate
review."); Elam v. S.C. Dep't of Transp., 361 S.C. 9, 24, 602 S.E.2d 772, 780

We also find Appellants' argument fails on the merits. See Rydde v. Morris, 381
S.C. 643, 646, 675 S.E.2d 431, 433 (2009) ("On appeal from the dismissal of a
case pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6),[ SCRCP,] an appellate court applies the same
standard of review as the trial court."); id. ("That standard requires the [c]ourt to
construe the complaint in a light most favorable to the nonmovant and determine if
the facts alleged and the inferences reasonably deducible from the pleadings would
entitle the plaintiff to relief on any theory of the case." (internal quotation marks
omitted)); Matrix Fin. Servs. Corp. v. Frazer, 394 S.C. 134, 140, 714 S.E.2d 532,
535 (2011) ("[A] lender may not enjoy the benefit of equitable remedies when that
lender failed to have attorney supervision during the loan process as required by
our law."); id. ("We apply this ruling to all filing dates after the issuance of this
opinion.").

We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
