Clients personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $300,000. Clients also pledged their homes as additional collateral. SBA OIC accepted $87,000 with the full lien release against the home.
Clients' 7(a) loan was referred to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in 2015. They not only personally guaranteed the loan, but also pledged their primary residence as additional collateral. One of the clients filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy thinking that it would discharge the SBA 7(a) lien encumbering their home. They later discovered that they were mistakenly advised. The Firm was subsequently hired to review their case and defend against a series of collection actions. Eventually, we were able to negotiate a structured workout for $180,000 directly with the SBA, saving them approximately $250,000 (by reducing the default interest rate and removing Treasury's substantial collection fees) and from possible foreclosure.
Clients personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan balance of $65,000 for their Texas-based business. The SBA loan was paid down to $41,000 before the business failed. The loan was referred to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. Treasury assessed its collection fees increasing the debt to $66,000. The client received a Notice of Intent to Initiate Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) Proceedings. The Firm represented the client at the hearing and successfully challenged the legal enforceability of the debt. Based on our legal arguments, the Hearing Officer issued a Decision and Order terminating collection of the $66,000 debt by operation of law.
