No one really wants to fall behind on their business loans. After all, you made a promise to pay back the money after they were willing to lend it to you. Protect Law Group is a California-based SBA loan default attorney who helps small businesses which are having trouble paying back their SBA loan. Learn the difference between a default and a delinquent when it comes to an SBA loan, and call today for a free consultation!
Delinquent is the lender term given to those who are behind on their SBA loan payments. The small business can be behind by merely one day or months — the name doesn't change. However, being delinquent on your SBA loan means that the lender still believes you will pay the loan back.
When your SBA loan enters the default status, this is when the small business fails to meet the terms in the promissory note agreement or they are shirking other responsibilities of the loan's terms. Ultimately, an SBA default status means that the lender believes you are unable to repay your small business loan back.
If you are merely delinquent on your SBA loan, you can work with your lender to get back on track. Some options include making smaller payments, restructuring the SBA loan for you, and waiving late fees.
For the most part, the federal government wants their money back if your SBA loan enters default status. It's at this point that you should reach out to a top-rated SBA attorney in order to help you resolve the matter favorably with your lender.
Protect Law Group has years of experience in helping those whose SBA loan is in default in the state of California. Reach out to one of our SBA default attorneys for a free consultation today!

Millions of Dollars in Treasury Debts Defended Against via AWG Hearings, Treasury Offset Program Resolution, Cross-servicing Disputes, Private Collection Agency Representation, Compromise Offers and Negotiated Repayment Agreements
Our Attorneys are Authorized by the Agency Practice Act to Represent Federal Debtors Nationwide before the SBA, The SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals, the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of Fiscal Service.
The clients are personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. The SBA referred the debt to the Department of Treasury, which was seeking payment of $487,981 from our clients. We initially filed a Cross-Servicing Dispute, which was denied. As a result, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals asserting legal defenses and supporting evidence uncovered during the discovery and investigation phase of our services. Ultimately, the SBA settled the debt for $25,000 - saving our clients approximately $462,981.
Clients borrowed and personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. Clients defaulted on the SBA loan and were sued in federal district court for breach of contract. The SBA lender demanded the Client pledge several personal real estate properties as collateral to reinstate and secure the defaulted SBA loan. We were subsequently hired to intervene and aggressively defend the lawsuit. After several months of litigation, our attorneys negotiated a reinstatement of the SBA loan and a structured workout that did not involve any liens against the Client's personal real estate holdings.
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.
