Dealing with 1st Merchant Funding in Utah?

When daily ACH withdrawals from 1st Merchant Funding threaten your business operations, the financial pressure can feel insurmountable. Small business owners often find themselves trapped in a cycle of debt that hinders growth and stability. At Cannon Legal PLLC, we recognize that your priority is maintaining your company’s survival. Our firm focuses on aggressive defense strategies to help you regain control of your cash flow and address the underlying legal issues created by these merchant cash advance agreements.

The Legal Reality for Utah Consumers

In Utah, the legal landscape regarding merchant cash advances is nuanced. We scrutinize whether the funder honored mandatory reconciliation or “true-up” clauses during periods when your business revenues declined. If a creditor ignored these requests, the transaction may be recharacterized as a disguised, usurious loan rather than a purchase of future receivables. Furthermore, if the plaintiff has obtained a judgment by confession or default, we can file a Motion to Vacate under Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), challenging the lack of due process or asserting that the underlying agreement was executed under false pretenses.

Failure to respond to a court summons or legal notice can result in an immediate default judgment, which may lead to bank levies or asset seizures. Acting promptly is vital to preserving your rights and exploring all available defense avenues before deadlines lapse.
