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!

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.
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.
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.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of $58,000. The client received a notice of Intent to initiate Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) Proceedings. We represented the client at the hearing and successfully defeated the AWG Order based on several legal and equitable grounds.
