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.

The client personally guaranteed an SBA 504 loan balance of $375,000. Debt had been cross-referred to the Treasury at the time we got involved with the case. We successfully had debt recalled to the SBA where we then presented an SBA OIC that was accepted for $58,000.

Ultimately, the SBA settled the debt for $25,000 - saving our clients approximately $462,981.
Small business sole proprietor obtained an SBA COVID-EIDL loan for $500,000.

Client hired the Firm to represent before the SBA, Treasury and a Private Collection Agency. After securing government records through discovery and reviewing them, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings & Appeals (OHA) court challenging the SBA's referral of the debt to Treasury citing a host of purported violations. The Firm was able to negotiate a reinstatement and recall of the loan back to the SBA, participation in the Hardship Accommodation Plan, termination of Treasury's enforced collection and removal of the statutory collection fees.
