PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUTURE RECEIVABLESPG 1 OF 2

GUARANTEE OF PERFORMANCE. The owners of Merchant hereby guarantee Merchant's performance of all of the covenants made by Merchant in this Agreement ... Merchant shall (vi) ensure that the Corresponding Account shall be the sole depository for the Merchant's credit card settlements until such time as the Company has received the full Remittance Amount ...

In plain English

Every card dollar has to land in their account first. If your POS offers “instant payout” to your own bank, using it breaks this promise, and this is the promise you signed for personally.

Three steps. No hourly bill.

Most people never read the fine print because it takes hours and a law degree to decode. We do the reading, then hand you something you can act on today.

A real report, names removed.

This is an actual merchant cash advance a New Hampshire restaurant signed: $17,000 up front, $23,799 paid back through 11% of every card sale. Here's what the four pages actually say.

Future Receivables Agreement, Florida lender

4 pages, 1 scanned. Read in full, including the page of 8-point type.

3 Trap4 Watch3 OK
Trap
Guaranty (vi), Sec. 1.1
“ensure that the Corresponding Account shall be the sole depository for the Merchant's credit card settlements”

Every card dollar has to go through their account first.

Instant-deposit or cash-out features in your POS can route card money around them. That breaks a covenant, and covenants are exactly what you guaranteed personally. Check where instant deposits land before you say anything to the collector.

Trap
Sec. 3.5
“the Company shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under Article 9 ... five days notice constitutes reasonable notice.”

After a breach, your equipment and card money are on the table.

They hold a lien on your accounts, equipment, inventory, and business name. After a breach they can move on that collateral without a lawsuit, as long as there's no confrontation, and must give 5 days' notice before selling it. The realistic move is telling your card processor to pay them directly.

Trap
Guaranty (vii)
“not sell, dispose, convey or otherwise transfer its business or assets without the express prior written consent of the Company”

You can't sell the business without their sign-off.

A sale without written consent is a covenant breach, which makes you personally liable. Any sale has to pay them off or get their consent at closing.

Watch
Sec. 1.6
“an account monitoring fee of up to $200 per month ... This fee will automatically begin if the contract goes into Default.”

Default quietly adds up to $200 a month.

If the balance they quote is higher than $23,799 minus what you've paid, this fee is a likely reason. Ask for the full ledger in writing.

OK
Guaranty, last sentence
“Neither this guaranty nor the Agreement is a guaranty or promise of payment by a certain date”

Slow sales alone don't make you personally liable.

You guaranteed that you'd follow the rules, not that the business would earn the money. If sales drop honestly, that's their risk.

OK
Sec. 4.5
“governed by ... the laws of the State of Florida ... any Florida state or federal court sitting in Hillsborough County”

No confession of judgment.

They can't get a judgment on paperwork alone. They have to sue in Florida, serve you, win, and then register the judgment in your state before they can collect on it.

What we read

Anything written by the side with more lawyers than you.

Insurance denials

We find the reason code, check it against your plan, and draft the appeal. Most denied claims are never appealed.

“not medically necessary”

Appeal letter

Hospital and surgery bills

Line-by-line check for duplicate charges, out-of-network surprises, and codes that don't match what happened.

“balance due upon receipt”

Dispute letter

Cash advances and business loans

Guaranties, liens, default triggers, and whether the balance they quote matches the math.

“secured party under Article 9”

Ledger request

Commercial leases

Personal guaranties, CAM charges, renewal traps, and what happens to your equipment if you leave.

“triple net, plus operating expenses”

Redline

Collection letters

Who they are, whether the debt is valid, what they're allowed to say, and what they're bluffing about.

“final notice before legal action”

Validation request

Vendor and service contracts

Auto-renewals, cancellation windows, and early termination fees before you sign.

“shall automatically renew”

Summary

Priced like a tool, not a lawyer.

No hourly meter. The verdict is always free, and if the document is fair and there's nothing to fight, the full read is free too.

We tell you when they're right.

If the denial is legitimate or the contract is fair, the report says so. You don't pay to be told a fight is worth it when it isn't.

We never help you hide anything.

Our letters say only true things. A true letter holds up. A clever one that isn't true turns a contract dispute into a fraud claim.

We know where we stop.

We explain documents and draft letters. When you need a court filing or a negotiator, we say so on page one.
