An earlier version of this page treated Advanced Recovery Systems as a single merchant cash advance funder and quoted factor rates and reconciliation terms. None of these companies funds advances, and no such terms exist for them. If a balance is a merchant cash advance, the funder that placed it is the counterparty.

If the letter is from Advanced Recovery Group

Then a funder, factor, or equipment lessor has placed a defaulted commercial account with it. The BBB lists skip tracing and real time data among its services, which is how it finds owners and guarantors who have moved or changed banks. Five complaints in three years are on file; the profile is worth reading for their substance before you call. As a collection agency it is a third party: it holds the file the creditor gave it, and validation of the balance means the agreement and the payment history.

What to establish from your own paperwork

• Which creditor placed the account, and for what. A merchant cash advance, an invoice factoring balance and an equipment lease are different problems with different defenses.
• Validation. Ask in writing for the agreement and a statement of how the balance was calculated. Business debts are outside the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, but a legitimate agency can still produce the documents.
• If it is a merchant cash advance: purchase price versus purchased amount, every debit, the reconciliation clause and your written requests, the personal guaranty, and any security interest in receivables.
• Whether a suit exists. These are agencies, not law firms; litigation would come through the creditor's counsel. A demand is not a summons.

If a lawsuit has been filed

Answer before the deadline, usually 20 to 30 days from service. A default judgment for the full balance plus fees ends any negotiation. If served, see what to do when a creditor represented through an Advanced Recovery agency sues.

Can the balance be settled?

Often. The creditor decides, and a documented dispute or a realistic lump sum is usually heard before any suit. For a merchant cash advance the room is the gap between the contracted balance and the cash advanced. See how a balance an Advanced Recovery agency is collecting can be settled and how MCA debt relief works.
