SBA Loan Default - The 60 Day Letter

You should not have to struggle to settle your SBA debt on your own. Instead, turn to one of our attorneys who specializes in SBA OIC claims. We are dedicated to helping you settle your SBA loan default.

If you are in default on your SBA loan, you will get what is termed a "60 day letter".  The following information should be included in a Federal agency's written communication with a debtor at least 60-days prior to referring a delinquent debt to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Management Service for debt collection (cross-servicing).  The information may be included in one letter or a series of letters.  The letter should include the following:

  • Nature and amount of the debt, including the basis for the debt.
  • Explanation of how interest, penalties, and administrative costs are added to the debt.
  • Date by which payment should be made to avoid late charges and enforced collection (generally, 30 days from the date the demand letter is mailed).
  • Name, address, and phone number of a contact person or office within the creditor agency.

Explain the agency's intent to enforce collection if debtor fails to pay by taking one or more of the following actions:

  • Offset the debtor's Federal payments, including income tax refunds, salary, certain benefit payments (such as Social Security), retirement, vendor, and travel reimbursements and advances.
  • Refer the debt to a private collection agency.
  • Report the debt to a credit bureau.
  • Garnish the debtor's wages through administrative wage garnishment (no court order required).
  • Refer the debt to the Department of Justice for litigation (comply with Executive Order 12988).
  • Refer the debt to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for any of the above-described collection actions (advise debtor that agencies are required to refer when debt is 180 days delinquent).

Explain how debtor exercises the opportunity to:

  • Inspect and copy agency's records related to the debt.
  • Request a review of agency's determination of the debt.
  • If applicable, request a waiver.
  • For purposes of salary offset or administrative wage garnishment, request a hearing.Enter into a reasonable written repayment agreement.

Advise the debtor of the following:

  • Notify agency if bankruptcy filed.
  • Penalties for knowingly making false or frivolous statements.
  • Excess collections will be refunded to the debtor, unless prohibited by law.
  • For Federal salary offset, up to 15% of current net disposable pay may be deducted every pay period until the debt is paid.
  • For joint income tax filers, spouse should file Form 8379 with the IRS to claim his/her share of tax refund.

$350,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED STRUCTURED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

$350,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED STRUCTURED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000. The small business failed but because of the personal guarantee liability, the client continued to pay the monthly principal & interest out-of-pocket draining his savings. The client hired a local attorney but quickly realized that he was not familiar with SBA-backed loans or their standard operating procedures. Our firm was subsequently hired after the client received the SBA's official 60-day notice. After back-and-forth negotiations, we were able to convince the SBA to reinstate the loan, retract the acceleration of the outstanding balance, modify the original terms, and approve a structured workout reducing the interest rate from 7.75% to 0% and extending the maturity date for a longer period to make the monthly payments affordable. In conclusion, not only we were able to help the client avoid litigation and bankruptcy, but our SBA lawyers also saved him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.

$298,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

$298,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

Clients obtained an SBA 7(a) loan for their small business in the amount of $298,000. They pledged their primary residence and personal guarantees as direct collateral for the loan. The business failed, the lender was paid the 7(a) guaranty money and the debt was assigned to the SBA.  Clients received the Official 60-Day Notice giving them a couple of options to resolve the debt balance directly with the SBA before referral to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. The risk of referral to Treasury would add nearly $95,000 to the SBA principal loan balance. With the default interest rate at 7.5%, the amount of money to pay toward interest was projected at $198,600. Clients hired the Firm with only 4 days left to respond to the 60-Day due process notice.  Because the clients were not eligible for an Offer in Compromise (OIC) due to the significant equity in their home and the SBA lien encumbering it, the Firm Attorneys proposed a Structured Workout to resolve the SBA debt.  After back and forth negotiations, the SBA Loan Specialist assigned to the case approved the Workout terms which prevented potential foreclosure of their home, but also saved the clients approximately $294,000 over the agreed-upon Workout term with a waiver of all contractual and statutory administrative fees, collection costs, penalties, and interest.
