The Vicious Cycle of MCA Debt
Let’s start with the cold, hard truth: MCAs are a predatory trap designed to bleed businesses dry. The lenders dangle fast cash in front of you, with vague repayment terms buried in pages of legalese. Before you know it, you’re locked into a vicious cycle of renewal after renewal, paying exorbitant fees that make a loan shark look generous.And just when you think it can’t get any worse? The lender uses every dirty trick in the book to collect – frozen accounts, aggressive phone calls, even threats of legal action. It’s a nightmare, one that could destroy everything you’ve built.

What if my business income has dropped due to the pandemic?
If your revenue has taken a major hit through no fault of your own, that could invalidate the entire basis of your MCA agreement. After all, these deals are technically based on your future receivables and ability to pay.In that scenario, we would immediately invoke any reconciliation clauses and demand the lender adjust the payment schedule to match your current income. If they refuse to play ball, we’ll pursue legal action for breach of contract, unconscionability, and any other violations we can substantiate.The bottom line: an act of God like COVID-19 doesn’t absolve the lender of their obligation to deal in good faith. We’ll make sure they can’t use a crisis as an excuse to bleed you dry.
What if I was misled about the terms of the MCA?
Deceptive practices and misrepresentations are huge red flags that could unravel the entire MCA agreement. If we can prove the lender used high-pressure sales tactics, buried important terms, or outright lied about the costs and obligations, that’s grounds for rendering the deal void.We would launch a thorough investigation, tracking down any recorded calls, emails, or other evidence of the lender’s deception. Our forensic reviewers would then dissect the MCA documents line-by-line, exposing any inconsistencies or unlawful provisions.With that ammo in hand, we’d pursue a multi-front attack – filing claims for fraud, illegality, unconscionability, and any other violations we identify. The lender would have two choices: unwind the deal entirely or face a lengthy and costly legal battle they can’t possibly win.
What if the MCA fees exceed legal interest rate limits?
This is one of our favorite attack vectors against predatory MCA lenders. You see, while they try to structure these deals as purchases of future income rather than loans, the reality is often very different.Our forensic accountants will deconstruct every fee, charge, and payment term, calculating the effective annual interest rate you’re paying. If that rate exceeds the legal maximums under West Virginia usury laws, we have a slam-dunk case for voiding the MCA as an unlawful, criminally usurious lending agreement.From there, we could pursue criminal charges against the lender, while simultaneously filing civil claims to discharge your obligations and recover any excess payments. It’s a legal one-two punch that these MCA sharks can never withstand.
Conditional Scenarios and Hypotheticals
If you default on a merchant cash advance…
Defaulting on an MCA agreement can quickly turn into a legal and financial nightmare. The lenders will likely obtain a confession of judgment against you, allowing them to freeze your accounts, garnish your wages, seize assets – anything to collect what they claim you owe.But we know all their dirty tricks, and we have a vast arsenal of countermeasures to neutralize them. We’ll immediately file an order to show cause, demanding the lender prove the judgment was legally obtained and not the product of deception or unconscionable terms.Our forensic team will also scrutinize the default calculations, looking for any discrepancies or improper charges the lender tried to slip in. If we can prove they manufactured the default, that’s grounds for rendering the entire MCA void.And if the lender tries anything underhanded like sending threatening letters or making illegal collection calls? We’ll hit them with claims under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act so fast it will make their heads spin.
If your business income falls dramatically…
This scenario is exactly why MCA agreements contain reconciliation provisions – to account for significant swings in your receivables that impact your ability to make the scheduled payments.The second your income takes a major downturn, we’ll send the lender a notice invoking that reconciliation clause, demanding they provide an adjusted payment plan in line with your current revenue. We’ll back it up with documentation like tax returns, financial statements, and any other proof needed.If the lender refuses to negotiate in good faith or denies your reconciliation request outright, we’ll have all the ammunition needed to pursue breach of contract claims and seek judicial reformation of the payment terms. No matter what, we won’t let them bleed you dry over an agreement that has become unconscionable.
If an MCA lender tries to domesticate a judgment against you in West Virginia…
This is an increasingly common threat as more MCA lenders pursue judgments against out-of-state borrowers who default. But we have a specific playbook to combat domestication efforts and protect your West Virginia assets.The moment they file that domestication request, we’ll be in court objecting on every possible ground – lack of jurisdiction, improper service, any defects in the underlying judgment. We’ll also pursue discovery demands, forcing them to produce the complete record from the original case.Our goal? Poke enough holes in their domestication attempt to run out the clock on their time window to properly re-domesticate the judgment. And even if we can’t derail it entirely, we’ll make the process so arduous and costly that the lender decides it’s not worth the effort.
