MCA Defense Lawyers Provide Expert Assistance With Merchant Cash Advance Debt

Merchant cash advances (MCAs) can provide quick access to capital for small businesses. However, the terms of MCA agreements are often predatory, with exorbitant interest rates and aggressive collection tactics. If your business is struggling with MCA debt, specialized legal assistance can help protect your assets and negotiate reasonable repayment terms.

How MCAs Work and Why They Can Be Problematic

A merchant cash advance provides an upfront lump sum to a business in exchange for a percentage of future credit card sales over a defined period of time. This differs from a traditional small business loan in several key ways:

• There is no set repayment schedule. The amount due fluctuates based on sales volume.
• Rates and fees are very high, often exceeding 100% APR when calculated as interest.
• MCA agreements allow the funder to access business bank accounts directly to withdraw payments.

While fast funding makes MCAs enticing, their flexible structure means costs can quickly spiral out of control. Vague contract language also leaves room for abuse from predatory funders.Aggressive collections through daily bank withdrawals, freezing accounts, or lawsuits are common. Businesses can suddenly face severe cash flow issues or even bankruptcy.

Specialized Legal Defenses Against Abusive MCA Tactics

Fighting back against MCA creditor harassment and excessive debt requires a strategic legal approach. Our team of business finance attorneys has extensive experience defending clients against MCA lenders in court.We utilize targeted defenses to protect our clients, such as:

• Challenging breach of contract claims – Many MCA agreements contain unenforceable or illegal provisions we can invalidate.
• Contesting interest rates as usurious – Interest exceeding 25% APR is illegal in many states and can nullify an entire agreement.
• Arguing for unconsicionability – Predatory or misleading contract terms may be ruled unenforceable.
• Filing lender liability claims – Creditors utilizing deceptive or abusive lending practices can be sued for damages.

Negotiating Reasonable MCA Settlements

Litigation is always a last resort. Our lawyers first work to negotiate fair MCA settlements through mediation.Potential strategies include:

• Instituting affordable payment plans based on ability to repay.
• Settling debt for pennies on the dollar.
• Structuring installment agreements to pay off balances over time.
• Securing formal release of future liability once repaid.

Outcomes are tailored to each client’s financial situation. The goal is reducing or eliminating burdensome debt so businesses can recover.
