You’re here because you need help, with a merchant cash advance gone wrong. It’s a tough spot – but, you’ve come to the right place. We deal with this daily, so take a breath – you’re not alone.Merchant cash advances, sound harmless enough, right? Just a cash injection to your business. What could go wrong? Well, plenty – and we’ve seen it all.These MCAs are essentially high-interest loans, disguised as “purchases” of future revenue. The companies dangle fast cash, with minimal paperwork. They don’t care about your credit score, or ability to repay. All they want is a slice of your future sales – through something called a “holdback rate.”And here’s where it gets ugly. That holdback rate? It can be up to 30% of each sale, siphoned straight from your account. So, if business slows, you’re still on the hook for those withdrawals. It’s a vicious, unforgiving cycle – and before you know it, you‘re drowning in debt.
The Holdback Trap
Let’s break this down, with an example. Say you took a $100,000 advance, with a holdback rate of 20%. For every $100 in sales, $20 goes straight to the funder – until you’ve paid back $130,000 (or more, with fees).That’s a 30% interest rate, at minimum. Except, it’s not technically “interest” – it‘s just the cost of getting that advance. A loophole that allows MCA companies to charge usurious rates, without regulation.And it gets worse. If your sales dip, that holdback percentage rises. So a 20% holdback could quickly become 30%, or even 40% – until you‘re bled dry. All while the funder’s risk-free, since they‘ve already purchased your future income.It’s debt entrapment, plain and simple. And it happens more often than you‘d think.
The Confession Tactics
So, what happens if you can’t keep up? Well, the MCA company will do everything to collect. We‘re talking endless calls, threats, even hiring thugs to intimidate you. All to force a “confession of judgment.”This lets them bypass courts, and seize your assets directly. Your bank accounts, personal property, everything’s fair game. And it happens fast – you could wake up, and find your life’s work has been stripped away.It’s a predatory system, designed to crush small businesses. All for the sake of billion-dollar funders, who treat your livelihood like a casino chip.
But, there is a way out. A path back from the brink. It starts by hiring a skilled MCA defense lawyer – someone who’s made it their mission to take down these funders. Someone like the team at Spodek Law Group.We don‘t just understand MCA contracts – we dismantle them. Clause by clause, we find every loophole, every shady tactic the funders use. Then, we counter with overwhelming force, hitting them where it hurts.It could be proving violations of usury laws, or shedding light on deceptive practices. Maybe we restructure the entire deal, wiping out bogus fees and charges. Or, if the MCA is truly rotten, we go for full dismissal – freeing you from that debt prison once and for all.

Recent Wins – A Taste of Justice
Still not convinced? Let‘s look at some recent wins:
- Dismissed $1.2M in fraudulent MCA debt, for a restaurant group in Austin. The funders tried burying them in fees – we buried the entire deal.
- Restructured $3M in MCA agreements for a logistics company, eliminating $1.5M in fees/charges. A massive lifeline, when they needed it most.
- Secured full dismissal of $750K MCA, for a small retailer in San Antonio. The contract was so rife with deception, a judge tossed it out entirely.
