What are some of the most common deceptive things loan brokers say to customers, most especially for MCA cash advances?
- Take this Deal now and in 30 Days we will consolidate your other MCA’s
- Take this Deal now and in 30 Days, we will get you more money and a lower rate
- This deal is only good through today.
- Make 2 payments and we will consolidate
Why these Promises are not True
Both the Broker and the lender do not know if you will qualify in 30 days to get a consolidation, more money or better terms.
In those next 30 days, a business may experience lower sales, a natural disaster, a federal or state tax lien. The owner may get sick. Equipment or vehicles may break down, resulting in lower sales. The owner’s credit may go down in the next 30 days.
This is something a broker nor a lender should be telling any customer, especially as a justification to close the loan they are offering that day.
Approval is only good Today Lie
Approvals and offers are typically good for a week or two. If the customer takes 1 or 2 weeks to close a loan, then the lender might check the customer’s bank account balance to make sure the account is not overdrawn. The lender may also want to make sure there has not been significant NSF and Overdraft activity.
In practice, the customer calls the broker back after 30 days of timely payments, applies for the consolidation or lower rates and is declined in most cases.
If the customer’s situation hasn’t gotten worse, then they should be qualified for the consolidation right away and not have to wait 30 days. A customer’s situation rarely improves that much in such a short amount of time. This is just a closing ploy.

02:40 Offer is only available today lie
03:33 Debt Settlement Lie
A broker lied to you? Let’s take a closer look. Welcome to smallbusinessloansdepot. A loan broker lied to me. He promised me a consolidation if I closed the loan and paid on time for 30 days. After 30 days I tried to get the consolidation and was declined.
Does this sound like what happened to your business? If you have been misled or told a lie while getting a business loan, mca cash advance, real estate loan, or any other loan, we have some tips on how to work with a loan Broker, or a lender.
Step 1: Provide details before applying.
Call and go over your Company details over the phone. Your type of business, annual or monthly revenues or deposits, time in business, and credit. Ask what is the criteria or basic qualifications. Try to figure out if you match the minimum requirements. Ask is there anything that you or your business will automatically be declined for? TIP: Many brokers will not pre-screen your file at all, or very little. The basic information you give them is usually more than they will review before submitting your file.
Step 2: Broker Red Flags. Review what you are told about the options.
Does it make sense?
100% I guarantee it lie
Red Flag # 1: You are told: You will be approved, or I can get that, no problem, 100%, guaranteed. They don’t know that.
Brokers and even direct lenders do not, and cannot know if you will definitely qualify before you apply. Why ? They don’t know the details of your cash flow and debts until they see your statements. They can’t check if you can afford it until they see your debt.
They don’t know about your credit until they look at your file and your score. They also don’t know if have you had previous defaults.
So they absolutely 100% do not know in advance if you will be approved.

Consolidate is 30 days lie
Red Flag # 2 You are told: Take this deal now, make on time payments for 30 days and we will consolidate you, Get you more money, and better terms. Or some version of that, such as make only a few payments and we will consolidate you, and get you more money after 30 days. This is a hard core 10 out of 10 on the BS Meter. It is not true. The broker does not know what will happen within 30 days, so they do not know what can be offered in 30 days.
Customers might run into cash flow problems during those 30 days or take out other loans that disqualify them for consolidation. What if your business has a very bad sales month? Paying for 30 days doesn’t prove much more to any lender than what they know already about you right now. If the lender has already really decided that you will qualify to refinance you in 30 days, why not just consolidate you or give you better terms right now? Its because they are lying so that you will take the deal on the table right now. And lastly,
Offer is only available Today Lie
Red Flag # 3: You are told this offer is only available if you close it today. Also known as Pressure tactics, or the take-away. Every Broker knows this one and many use it.
Step 3: Applying. If you are satisfied with what they are telling you makes sense, consider applying. Or call us at 919-771-4177 With over 20 years experience. If you are approved, review the terms closely.
Step 4: Closing: Ask questions about the exact closing process. Request the closing documents and review them as much as you can. Try to make sure the terms match what you were told verbally. Also Look for information in the documents that was not discussed.
TIP: Use the search feature on your document, command F or control F to look up critical keywords, Such as past due, default, fees, liens, ownership, arbitration, and debit. This may help you find any information on the most critical issues in
The event you run into difficulty repaying.
Debt Settlement Lie
Further TIP: many of our clients that have dealt with debt settlement companies have
Told us after the fact that They signed contracts, paid the debt settlement companies thousands of dollars, or more, but nothing happened for weeks or months. It was only after the customer paid for several
Weeks or months that the debt settlement companies sometimes began trying to negotiate with debtors. By then the lenders had already defaulted the customer.
IP: Get commitments on when the broker or lender will do something, not just what
They will do. Call us instead!!!
