The regulations allow personal guarantors to raise objections to garnishment concerning the existence, amount, or current enforceability of the debt, the rate of garnishment, and whether the personal guarantor has been continuously employed less than twelve months after involuntary separation from employment. The SBA has the burden of proving the existence and amount of a debt. Personal guarantors disputing the existence or amount must prove by a preponderance of the credible evidence that no debt exists, the amount is incorrect or the debt is not enforceable.

$1,200,000 SBA 7A LOAN - SBA OHA LITIGATION

$1,200,000 SBA 7A LOAN - SBA OHA LITIGATION

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.

$383,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED RELEASE OF LIEN FOR CONSIDERATION

$383,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED RELEASE OF LIEN FOR CONSIDERATION

Clients executed several trust deeds pledging seven (7) real estate properties and unconditional personal guarantees for an SBA 7(a) loan from the participating lender. The clients' small business failed and eventually defaulted on repayment of the loan exposing all collateral pledged by the clients. The SBA subsequently acquired the loan balance from the lender, including the right to liquidate  and collect all pledged collateral pursuant to the trust deed instruments.

The Firm was hired to negotiate separate release of lien proposals for all 7 real estate properties. In preparation for the work assignment, the Firm Attorneys initiated discovery  to secure records from the SBA and Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. After reviewing the records and understanding the interplay between the lender and the SBA, the attorneys then prepared, submitted and negotiated the release of lien (ROL) for each of the 7 real estate properties for consideration.

After submitting the proposals, the assigned SBA Loan Specialists approved each ROL package - significantly reducing the total SBA debt claimed.
