SBA Wage Garnishment: What Can You Do About It?
If you default on your SBA loan, there are a number of ways it can be collected. We take a look at wage garnishment and what you can do about it.
Mark Cuban won a years-long fight with the federal government agency, SEC, Wednesday when jurors said that the billionaire basketball team owner did not commit insider-trading when he sold his shares in an Internet company in 2004.
Cuban hugged his lawyers after the verdict, then called family members. During an impromptu news conference outside the courthouse, he angrily denounced the Federal Government – most notably, the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and its lead trial attorney, Jan Folena, saying that they lied about the evidence and targeted him because of his fame. He said that defendants of lesser wealth could have been bullied.
The “no bully” policy cannot be overstated when it comes to the Federal Government. They are intimidating, especially with their 3-letter acronym based agencies. Popular polls and studies indicate that these 3-letter government agencies notably strike “fear” and “stress” in people’s minds – picture this – what would you think if you got a certified letter from the IRS, or a phone call from the FBI, the DOJ, the SEC? So, for all of you federal non-tax debtors out there – what would your initial emotional reaction be if and when you receive an acceleration or demand letter from the SBA, or worse, a referral letter, a Treasury Offset Program (TOP) notice or Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) from the DOT (Department of Treasury) relating to an SBA debt? My guess . . .your heart rate would go up . . .

Client's small business obtained an SBA COVID EIDL for $301,000 pledging collateral by executing the Note, Unconditional Guarantee and Security Agreement. The business defaulted on the loan and the SBA CESC called the Note and Guarantee, accelerated the principal balance due, accrued interest and retracted the 30-year term schedule.
The loan was transferred to the Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service which resulted in the statutory addition of $90,000+ in administrative fees, costs, penalties and interest with the total debt now at $391.000+. Treasury also initiated a Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against the client's federal contractor payments for the full amount each month - intercepting all of its revenue and pushing the business to the brink of bankruptcy.
The Firm was hired to investigate and find an alternate solution to the bankruptcy option. After submitting formal production requests for all government records, it was discovered that the SBA failed to send the required Official 60-Day Pre-Referral Notice to the borrower and guarantor prior to referring the debt to Treasury. This procedural due process violation served as the basis to submit a Cross-Servicing Dispute to recall the debt from Treasury back to the SBA and to negotiate a reinstatement of the original 30-year maturity date, a modified workout, cessation of the TOP levy against the federal contractor payments and removal of the $90,000+ Treasury-based collection fees, interest and penalties.
Clients personally guaranteed SBA 504 loan balance of $750,000. Clients also pledged the business’s equipment/inventory and their home as additional collateral. Clients had agreed to a voluntary sale of their home to pay down the balance. We intervened and rejected the proposed home sale. Instead, we negotiated an acceptable term repayment agreement and release of lien on the home.
Clients borrowed and personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. Clients defaulted on the SBA loan and were sued in federal district court for breach of contract. The SBA lender demanded the Client pledge several personal real estate properties as collateral to reinstate and secure the defaulted SBA loan. We were subsequently hired to intervene and aggressively defend the lawsuit. After several months of litigation, our attorneys negotiated a reinstatement of the SBA loan and a structured workout that did not involve any liens against the Client's personal real estate holdings.
