Navigating Michigan MCA Settlement pressures can be challenging. Our legal team is here to help business owners explore their options for negotiating settlements and resolving MCA UCC filing disputes.
Michigan’s UCC system maintains financing statements concerning secured transactions under Article 9 and permits public searches using debtor information; however, an online search result does not display the complete collateral description. In an MCA matter, our attorneys may review copies of the financing statement, related amendments, UCC-11 information where appropriate, secured-party information, collateral provisions, underlying MCA agreements, guarantees, payment history, and funder notices to evaluate potential filing and enforcement issues. A UCC financing statement serves a public-notice function and does not, by itself, establish the outstanding MCA balance, prove a contractual default, determine lien priority, or resolve the parties’ enforcement rights.

Check the court named in the papers
If your Michigan business receives MCA court papers, check the court where the case was filed, each named defendant, and how and when the papers were served. The agreement’s forum and governing-law provisions also need review.
The deadline depends on the court, service, and applicable procedure. Do not assume your business’s home-state rules control a case filed elsewhere. Have the summons, complaint, and service details reviewed promptly.
Already received court papers? Tell the attorney when you contact us. Requesting a review or negotiating with a funder does not itself extend a court deadline or stop collection activity.

Review the documents
Review the agreements, withdrawals, guarantees, notices, and filing history, including any court papers, account restrictions, or disputed withdrawals. A review does not itself suspend payments or court requirements.

We evaluate potential negotiation terms with funders, including payment obligations, costs and any required written releases.
