You’re a business owner, and you need cash – fast. So, you turn to a merchant cash advance (MCA) company, thinking it‘s a quick fix. But, what you don’t realize, is that you‘ve just opened Pandora’s box.MCAs are the Wild West of business financing. They’re unregulated, predatory – and they can quickly turn into a nightmare. One day, you‘re struggling to make those daily payments, the next, you‘re slapped with a lawsuit that could bankrupt your business.So, what do you do, if you get hit – with one of these things? You fight back, with every weapon in your arsenal. And in Sacramento, that means hiring a criminal defense lawyer who knows how to take on the MCA bullies.At Spodek Law Group, we don‘t just defend businesses – we go on the offensive. We’ve made MCA companies our sworn enemy, and we’re not afraid to play dirty. Because when they come after you with their army of corporate lawyers, you need a team of battle-hardened litigators in your corner.
The Merchant Cash Advance Trap
It starts innocently enough. Your business hits a rough patch, and you need a cash injection to cover expenses. An MCA broker sweet-talks you, promising easy money with no credit checks or collateral required.They dangle the carrot of a lump sum payment in exchange for a slice of your future revenues. It sounds too good to be true – and it is. What they don’t tell you, is that the fees and payment schedules are designed to drown you in debt.
“MCAs are the credit card scenario on steroids. The interest rates can reach triple digits – it’s legal loansharking.” – Spodek Law Group Founding Partner, Todd Spodek
Before you know it, you‘re trapped in a vicious cycle of daily or weekly payments that are crippling your cash flow. Suddenly, that “easy money” doesn’t seem so easy anymore.And if you miss a single payment? Well, that’s when the MCA company‘s true colors show. They’ll hit you with excessive default fees, frozen merchant accounts, and even send goons to your doorstep demanding payment.It’s a racket, plain and simple. And if you don’t have a skilled MCA defense lawyer in your corner, you could lose everything you’ve worked so hard to build.
When the Wolves Come Knocking
Let’s say you’ve defaulted on your MCA payments, and the company has filed a lawsuit against you. It‘s a terrifying prospect, but don’t panic – we’ve got your back.The first step is to analyze the MCA agreement with a fine-toothed comb. We’ll look for any irregularities, ambiguities, or outright violations that could give us leverage in court.For example, did the MCA company fail to disclose the true cost of the advance? Did they misrepresent the payment schedule or renewal terms? If so, we can argue that the contract is void due to fraud or unconscionability.Next, we’ll scrutinize the MCA company’s collection tactics. If they‘ve engaged in harassment, intimidation, or other illegal practices, we can hit them with counterclaims for violations of state and federal debt collection laws.And let‘s not forget about usury laws. Many MCA agreements carry interest rates that would make a loan shark blush. If the rates exceed the legal limits in your state, we can use that as a defense to invalidate the contract.
The Art of the Counterattack
But at Spodek Law Group, we don’t just play defense – we go on the offensive. Our strategy is to hit the MCA company with a barrage of counterclaims and third-party claims that put them on their heels.For instance, we might bring claims against the MCA broker for negligent misrepresentation or breach of fiduciary duty. Or, we could go after the company‘s principals for piercing the corporate veil and personal liability.The goal is to make the litigation so costly and risky for the MCA company that they’re forced to settle on favorable terms – or better yet, walk away empty-handed.

Merchant Cash Advance 101: What You Need to Know
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of MCA defense, let‘s take a step back and understand what these predatory products are all about.A merchant cash advance is a type of alternative financing that allows businesses to obtain a lump sum of cash in exchange for a percentage of their future credit card sales or revenues.Sounds harmless enough, right? Wrong.MCAs are structured in a way that heavily favors the lender, often saddling businesses with exorbitant fees and interest rates that can reach triple digits. And unlike traditional loans, MCAs are largely unregulated, meaning there are few consumer protections in place.To make matters worse, MCA agreements are often riddled with confusing legalese and hidden terms that can trap unsuspecting business owners in a cycle of debt.For example, many MCA contracts include automatic renewal clauses that allow the lender to continue debiting your accounts even after the initial advance has been repaid. And if you miss a single payment? Prepare to be hit with draconian default fees and aggressive collection tactics.It’s a predatory scheme that preys on the desperation of small business owners, and it‘s one that we at Spodek Law Group have made it our mission to combat.
