Business Bank Account Frozen by an Merchant Cash Advance Company?
<h2>MCA Lawsuit, Bank Levy or Default Judgment? Act Quickly.</h2>
A frozen business bank account can place an otherwise operating San Diego company in immediate financial danger. Payroll may be approaching, automatic payments may begin failing, and money needed for rent, inventory and vendors can suddenly become unavailable.
Some business owners first discover that an MCA lawsuit or judgment exists when their bank restricts the company&rsquo;s funds.
If this is happening to your business, do not ignore the notices.
Call Credible Law: <a href="tel:888-201-0441" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">(888) 201-0441</a>

<h2>Warning Signs That Require Attention</h2>
Your business may need a prompt legal review if:
<ul><li>Its bank account is frozen, restricted or levied</li><li>You were served with an MCA summons and complaint</li><li>A default judgment was entered without your knowledge</li><li>Daily ACH withdrawals are draining operating cash</li><li>An MCA company filed or threatened a UCC lien</li><li>A creditor is pursuing a personal guaranty</li><li>Payroll or essential vendor payments are at risk</li><li>Collection attorneys are demanding immediate payment</li></ul>
<h2>Find Out What Caused the Freeze</h2>
Contact the bank&rsquo;s legal or levy department and request:
<ul><li>The creditor&rsquo;s name</li><li>The collection law firm</li><li>The court and case number</li><li>The amount being held</li><li>The date the bank received the notice</li><li>Copies of all levy or enforcement documents</li></ul>

<h2>Were You Served With an MCA Lawsuit?</h2>
Do not assume the dispute will resolve on its own. Court-response deadlines may apply, and failing to respond can increase the risk of a default judgment and collection activity.
Business owners who recently received court papers can review what to do after being <a href="https://crediblelaw.com/served-with-mca-lawsuit/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">served with an MCA lawsuit</a>.
