SBA Loan News - Loans to Military Vets
Dealing with an SBA OIC case can be hard. You should allow one of our lawyers to settle SBA debt for you. Talk to us about your SBA loan default.
As part of our continuing objective to try and even out the playing field – or, battleground for those with an SBA loan default and need some background information, we will be posting videos, articles and commentary on some of the tactics and strategic mental impressions that lenders (and their lawyers), the CDC, the SBA and the DOT consider when dealing with an SBA loan default so that you can “know your adversary.”
Hopefully, by “knowing your SBA adversary,” small business borrowers, obligors and SBA personal guarantors can gain some leverage when dealing with an SBA loan default.
In this video clip, the Coleman Report representative discusses with a lawyer who represents lenders and bankers with their SBA loan issues regarding lender liability during the SBA Offer in Compromise process.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. COVID-19 caused the business to fail, and the loan went into default with a balance of $133,000. Client initially hired a non-attorney consultant to negotiate an OIC. The SBA summarily rejected the ineligible OIC and the debt was referred to Treasury’sBureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in the debt amount of $195,000. We were hired to intervene and initiated discovery for SBA and Fiscal Service records. We were able to recall the case from Fiscal Service back to the SBA. We then negotiated a structured workout with favorable terms that saves the client approximately $198,000 over the agreed-upon workout term by waiving contractual and statutory administrative fees, collection costs, penalties, and interest.
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 his 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). As a result of our efforts, we were able to convince the SBA to not only terminate the claimed debt of $1.2 million dollars against our client (without him having to file bankruptcy) but also refund the past recurring amounts that were offset from his Social Security Benefits in connection with the TOP levy.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $150,000. Business failed and eventually shut down. SBA then pursued client for the balance. We intervened and was able to present an SBA OIC that was accepted for $30,000.
