Demystifying the SBA Loan Default – The Lifesaving Import of the 60 Day Letter

Isn’t it grueling to navigate the complicated realm of SBA debt settlement and dodge the unstoppable waves pressing in from all sides? Well, you’re in luck! Lawscape of the Lawscape is your dedicated lifeboat in this stormy sea of debt. We are here for one reason only – to hack the way through the thorny path leading to your SBA loan clearance.

What You Enter Into With a Defaulted SBA Loan

When you trip onto the unpleasant land of SBA loan default, something called a “60 day letter” awaits your attention. By law, creditors must issue this communication a minimum of 60 days before your delinquent debt is transferred onto the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Management Service for collection – a process known as cross-servicing.

Decoding the 60-Day Letter

It’s like a Pandora’s Box of information about your debt – everything from your total owed to future penalties. Specifically, your 60-day letter must illustrate:

* The specifics and totals of your debt, including the rationale for its existence.
* Details of how interest, penalties, and admin fees are piling up onto your debt.
* The date, last call for payment before late charges accrue and enforced collection rattles at your door (typically, 30 days from when the letter is postmarked).
* A person or office in the creditor agency for all your queries.

If You Can’t Pay…

This letter also spells out how our federal agency will unleash collection if you can’t loosen the purse strings in time. Here’s a sneak peek at what waits around the corner:

* The federal government can and will offset your payments, such as income tax refunds, salary, certain benefits, retirement, vendor and travel reimbursements, and advances.
* Your debt may be tossed into the arms of a private collection agency.
* A credit bureau may receive a report of your outstanding debt.
* Your wages can be garnished administratively (no court order needed).
* Brace yourself; the debt can be referred to the Department of Justice for litigation based on Executive Order 12988.
* The debt’s future may lie with the U.S. Department of the Treasury for any of these described collection moves (keep in mind that this is compulsory if your debt is 180 days in the red).

Can the Debtor Catch a Break?

As the debtor, you’re not completely defenseless. The 60-day letter will guide you on how to:

* Access and copy records tied to your debt.
* Demand an agency review of their debt determination.
* Request for applicable waivers.
* In case of salary offset or administrative garnishment, how to chase a hearing.
* Forge a fair written repayment agreement.

An Umbrella for the Debtor

There’s also a list of your rights, all laid out in the 60-day letter:

* Reminder to inform the agency if you declare bankruptcy.
* The wrath that awaits anyone who knowingly sprouts false or frivolous claims.
* Assurance that any excess collections will find their way back into your pocket, provided there’s no legal restriction.
* For federal salary offsets, up to 15% of your current disposable income could be lopped off every pay period till the debt is settled.
* Joint tax filers, do pay attention! If you want to have your share of the tax refund, do file Form 8379 with the IRS.
