- 04A UCC financing statement lapses in five years under ORS 79A.5150 unless a continuation is filed.
Getting out of an Oregon merchant cash advance: the four exits and what each one costs
In a hurry? Skip to the rankings ↓When you are struggling with MCA debt, figuring out what to do can be extremely challenging. It is clear that you need relief; but, with so many options and so many conflicting opinions online, it can be hard to know what to do. Based on my experience, business owners struggling with MCA debt benefit the most from hiring an attorney to deal with their MCA providers.
When you hire a law firm to help you obtain MCA debt relief, you are working directly with your attorney from day one. Hire a non-legal business debt relief company, and your application is likely to sit in an inbox for days (or weeks) before a call center representative contacts you to request documents for review. Despite the benefits that come with hiring a law firm, our fees are on par (if not less expensive) than what you can expect to pay to a non-legal debt relief company. The flat rates offered by non-legal companies can look appealing, but they typically charge their fees up front - and they charge flat fees for all of the work they expect to perform, not for the amount of work that they actually perform.
Even if non-legal debt relief companies represent that they are negotiating with your MCA provider, their plan often just involves waiting until your payments are significantly past due. If your debt relief company is not in active communication with your MCA provider, this is a sure sign that they don't have a true plan to help you get out of debt. Since these companies must interact with your MCA provider indirectly, they can only attempt to settle your company's debt after the fact. If you are facing cash flow issues or other struggles that make it hard to pay your MCA balance, it is important to begin the process of obtaining debt relief as soon as possible.
The release matters too. If a debt relief company settles your company's MCA debt but fails to obtain a full release of liability, this company's services could end up doing more harm than good. Your MCA provider may then pursue additional collection efforts and charge additional interest, fees, and penalties, all without giving you the peace of mind that you have finally paid what you owe.
MCA debt is unsecured debt, and unsecured debt can be discharged through the bankruptcy process. While we make every effort to avoid bankruptcy, we provide you with this option if your circumstances justify moving forward with a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 case. Not all businesses can discharge their MCA debts, but, if you do, we will make sure you are fully informed so that you can make the best choice based on your company's long-term viability.
Negligent brokers are largely to blame for the hardships that MCAs are causing businesses across the country. While you have options to file claims against negligent brokers, this is not something a non-legal debt relief company can help you with. A negligent broker may point to your non-legal debt relief company to shift the blame and avoid liability.
Finally: engaging a non-legal business debt relief company won't necessarily prevent litigation, and these companies will generally not get involved if your MCA provider takes you to court. In many cases, engaging a law firm to represent you during your company's initial MCA debt struggles is much more cost-effective than waiting until litigation becomes a serious threat.
Best Business Debt Settlement Companies
These business debt relief programs charge a monthly fee to help you manage, reduce or negotiate down debts such as credit cards, lines of credit, term loans, equipment loans, vendor invoices and MCA balances. If you choose the wrong one, it can ruin your credit and invite a lawsuit. The providers below are licensed, bonded and vetted.
CuraDebt. $5,000 minimum, no maximum. Only company in this list offering both consumer and business programs - especially helpful if you're behind on personal and company debts simultaneously.

Clarify. Multiple risk models to settle debt or pre-approve new cash in under five minutes. Over $1B of merchant credit processed in 2021–22.
In Default? Already Being Sued? You Need a Lawyer, Not a Program
Business-debt settlement and merchant cash advance programs only work if your debts aren't already delinquent, charged off or in court. If you have received a complaint, levy notice, garnishment, UCC action, consent/forfeiture clause or other lawsuit papers, you need a litigator to immediately halt the debt and mount a legal defense - fighting to preserve your credit, restore accounts, freeze wrongful debits, hold brokers accountable and invalidate wrongful contracts. Programs aren't designed for those situations and can't resolve a legal dispute.

What can you realistically settle for?
Two questions. No email, no form. You get a range based on how funders have actually settled comparable positions in Oregon.
What your advance actually costs per year
At this price the advance costs more per year than most states allow a lender to charge. Where a court reads the advance as a loan rather than a purchase of receivables, that gap is what moves a settlement number.

The three firms worth calling in Oregon
Delancey Street
The only firm here that can file the motion an ORCP 73 defect actually calls for.
Delancey Street is attorney-founded and works exclusively on commercial debt. Every exit described above except paying out is a legal act. Attacking a confession under ORCP 73 B(4) is a motion. Seeking a stay of a domesticated judgment under ORS 24.135 is a filing. Forcing a termination statement under ORS 79A.5130 is a demand with a statutory consequence behind it. A settlement company can request a discount and wait.
More than $100 million settled. Single advances resolve in 2 to 8 weeks, stacks in three to twelve months. The fee is a percentage of enrolled debt, with no published minimum. Note that the firm is not BBB accredited and carries no BBB letter rating.
- Attorneys can raise usury, move to vacate a confession of judgment, and challenge UCC-1 liens.
- Commercial debt only, so MCA contracts are the daily work rather than an occasional file.
- Contract review returns an answer in 24 to 48 hours.
- Not BBB accredited, so there is no BBB letter grade to point at.
- No published minimum, which makes very small balances a judgment call.
Freedom Debt Relief
Enormous consumer volume, and nothing in that record involves a funder or a lien.
Freedom Debt Relief has resolved more than $20 billion and holds an A+ BBB rating with a published cost guarantee. That is the largest track record in the category.
It is not a law firm and does not take Oregon commercial files on the terms this page describes. Fees are 15 to 25 percent of enrolled debt plus $9.95 monthly, minimum $7,500, over 24 to 48 months. If a judgment has already been filed against your business, an escrow-building program is the wrong instrument. Its parent, Freedom Financial Network, carries 1,133 CFPB complaints.
- More than $20 billion resolved, the largest track record in the category.
- A published cost guarantee, which few competitors offer.
- BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and a long operating history.
- No attorneys, so usury, COJ vacatur and lien challenges are unavailable.
- Fees are charged on enrolled debt rather than on what you actually pay.
- Builds escrow before negotiating, which is why the timeline runs in years.
Pacific Debt Relief
Fee charged on the settled amount, which is the cheapest basis on a deeply discounted Oregon file.
Pacific Debt Relief charges 15 to 25 percent of the settled amount. On a file resolving at 52 cents, that basis roughly halves the fee compared with charging on enrolled debt. A+ BBB, $500M+ settled, no company record in the CFPB complaint database.
No attorneys, a $10,000 minimum and a 24 to 48 month program. It cannot touch a lien, a confession or a stay.
- Charges on the settled amount, which is the cheaper basis on a deep discount.
- BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and no company record in the CFPB complaint database.
- No attorneys, so the contract itself cannot be tested.
- Consumer-oriented timelines of 24 to 48 months.
- $10,000 minimum excludes smaller balances.
