It's crucial that you understand the SBA loan default collection process so that you can come to terms with your lender. First, the SBA will send you a 60-day demand letter. This is a letter that states you have 60 days to arrange for payment before it goes to collection.
Of course, you want to respond to your lenders and be willing to work with them in order to ensure you don't lose everything. An SBA offer in compromise is available for those businesses that are no longer in operation and that have sold all of their assets in an attempt to pay down their debt. An offer in compromise is settlement.
Your offer in compromise may be accepted or rejected, whereby you can submit another offer. The SBA or your lender may forgive all or part of your debt, which, for many, is ideal.
With so much at stake, especially if you've put up your home as collateral, it's crucial that you partner with a top-rated SBA loan default attorney who understands the laws and can work to ensure you have the most favorable terms possible.

Client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan to help with a relative’s new business venture. After the business failed, Treasury was able to secure a recurring Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against our client’s monthly Social Security Benefits based on the claim that he owed over $1.2 million dollars. We initially submitted a Cross-Servicing Dispute, but then, prepared and filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (SBA OHA).
