ok so this is gonna be long but somebody might need it. I run a small HVAC outfit outside Allentown, two trucks, me and my brother in law and a part time kid. Slow winter a couple years back and a guy cold called me about “working capital”, sounded great, money in the account by friday. What they dont tell you straight is the daily debit. They were pulling something like 600 a day out of the operating account and during the dead weeks there just wasnt 600 a day coming in. So I called to “stop” it and the rep is suddenly real friendly and goes oh we can REVERSE the last few and do a reconciliation if your deposits are down, just send bank statements. I sent them. Nothing happened. Kept pulling. Then I closed that account thinking that ends it and thats when I learned about the confession of judgment thing my lawyer kept saying I signed, which honestly I dont remember reading, who reads 14 pages on a phone. Anyway we got thru it but it ate most of a year and my marriage was not thrilled. the lesson I guess is dont, or maybe just dont close the account before you talk to somebody who knows this stuff. I dunno. it worked out, sort of.
commenting so i can find this when im not at work
Stopping the ACH does not stop the debt. The contract is still enforceable and in New York they can file the confession of judgment fast. Talk to a lawyer before you touch the bank account.
Honestly the whole structure is built so you never actually get out. You pay it down, youre short, they wave a renewal in your face, you take it cause whats the alternative, and now you owe more than you started. Its not a loan its a treadmill. I dont trust a single one of these companies and I dont care how nice the rep on the phone sounds.
