Delinquent accounts are the brakes that bring companies to a screeching halt. The economic exigencies of recent years has pushed many companies to extend the time they will permit an accounts receivable to age prior to instituting formal recovery efforts. Based on the survey of members of the Commercial Recovery Agency Association, this loosening of payment requirements is a severe negative impact on company’s cash flow and profits. In fact in many cases it leads to companies struggling financially and even going out of business altogether.

Merchant cash advance companies use these liens as weapons to coerce you into paying a debt that you may not even owe them. A UCC lien is supposed to be a shield, to protect the funder from businesses who take money and try to run away with it, without paying the funder back. However, if a merchant cash advance company claims that you have defaulted, even if you have not, the company can still make the same demand, using this lien as a sword rather than a shield.
