What’s at stake if you ignore the lawsuit
Merchant cash advance lawsuits can proceed quickly. If you don’t respond on time, the plaintiff may seek a default judgment. That can allow aggressive collection tools such as levies, liens, and other post-judgment remedies.
If a personal guaranty was signed, the risk can extend beyond the business—potentially exposing personal assets.
Focused experience in Utah MCA disputes
Cragun & Cragun represents businesses in litigation filed in Utah involving merchant cash advance disputes. We have successfully defended numerous companies in similar cases and negotiated favorable resolutions on their behalf.
Our goal is to help you respond strategically, protect the company and individuals involved, and pursue resolution options that make sense.
Be cautious with “debt settlement” solicitations
You may already be receiving solicitations from debt settlement organizations offering to “resolve” the matter. It’s important to understand common risks:
- Substantial up-front and ongoing fees—often far greater than legal flat-fee representation.
- Instructions to stop making payments, which can escalate litigation and increase liability.
- They cannot represent you in Utah court litigation—meaning you will ultimately need legal counsel regardless.
Why engaging counsel directly can help
By engaging our office directly, you may avoid unnecessary third-party fees and obtain actual legal defense and negotiation representation from an attorney experienced with Utah MCA litigation.
We offer flat-fee representation in many matters—often at a fraction of the cost charged by debt settlement companies.
Why acting now matters
Merchant cash advance lawsuits move fast. Deadlines are short, and once a response window closes, the plaintiff may seek a default judgment without further notice.
- Default judgments can allow immediate bank levies and account freezes.
- Judgments may result in liens and aggressive post-judgment collection.
- If a personal guaranty exists, personal assets may be exposed.
Early legal involvement often creates leverage, preserves defenses, and expands resolution options. Waiting typically limits choices and increases risk.
