“We unwind the stack — funder by funder, dollar by dollar.”
Stacked MCAs are Delancey Street’s specialty. When you owe three, four, or five funders at once, every negotiation becomes a chess match — each funder wants to get paid first, and each one has different leverage. Delancey Street’s team handles every funder simultaneously, playing their competing interests against each other to drive settlement numbers down.
Here is what happens when you call. First, they review every single MCA contract to identify defenses — usury violations, UCC Article 9 defects, confession of judgment (COJ) issues, and reconciliation failures. Then they contact each funder directly and begin parallel negotiations. Most stacked MCA clients see the daily debits stop within 1–2 weeks and full resolution within 60–120 days.
No upfront fees. You pay nothing until they deliver results. That matters when you are already cash-strapped from multiple funders draining your account.
“Debt negotiation backed by 550,000+ success stories.”
National Debt Relief built its reputation on consumer debt — but they have expanded into business debt settlement and handle stacked MCA cases as part of their broader debt resolution platform. Their scale means they have relationships with many of the major MCA funders and ISO networks.
Their process works best for business owners who have a mix of MCA debt and other obligations — credit cards, lines of credit, equipment financing. If your stacked MCA problem is part of a larger debt picture, National Debt Relief can address everything under one program. They negotiate each debt individually and consolidate your payments into a single monthly deposit.
The A+ BBB rating and 550,000+ client track record provide confidence that they will follow through on the plan they lay out during your consultation.
“25+ years of debt resolution — IAPDA certified and proven.”
CuraDebt has been in the debt resolution space since the late 1990s — longer than most MCA funders have existed. Their longevity matters because they have seen every cycle, every tactic, and every type of predatory lending arrangement. Their IAPDA certification means they follow strict ethical standards in how they handle your case.
For stacked MCA clients, CuraDebt takes a methodical approach. They prioritize which funders to negotiate with first based on who holds the strongest position — usually the funder with the most recent advance or the one with a valid COJ. By settling the most aggressive funder first, they reduce pressure on your business while continuing negotiations with the rest of the stack.
CuraDebt also handles tax debt, credit card debt, and other business obligations — so if your MCA stack is one piece of a larger financial problem, they can address it all.
The stacking cycle is vicious. You take one MCA to cover a slow month. The daily debits make the next month worse. A broker calls with a “solution” — a second advance that pays off part of the first and gives you a little working capital. Except now you have two funders pulling from your account. Then a third. Each new advance has a higher factor rate than the last because the funders know you are desperate.
By the time you have three or more advances stacked, the math stops working. You might be paying $2,000–$5,000 per day in combined debits on $300,000 in total advances — money that should be going to payroll, inventory, and rent. Your account gets overdrawn. The debits bounce. The funders start calling.
Here is the thing most business owners do not realize — this is exactly the position where you have the most leverage. When multiple funders are competing for the same limited pool of money, none of them want to be the last one standing when the music stops. A skilled MCA defense firm uses that competition to negotiate steep discounts.
Stacked MCAs often carry more legal vulnerabilities than a single advance. Each additional contract is another opportunity for the funder to make a mistake — and those mistakes become your defenses.
Usury. When you stack three advances with factor rates of 1.3, 1.4, and 1.45, the effective annual percentage rate can exceed 200%. New York courts have increasingly found that MCAs structured as purchases of future receivables are actually loans — and loans at those rates violate criminal usury statutes (§ 190.40 of the New York Penal Law).
Reconciliation failures. Most MCA contracts include a reconciliation clause requiring the funder to adjust payments based on your actual revenue. Almost no funder honors this clause. When they do not reconcile, the fixed daily debit transforms the “purchase” into a loan — subject to usury laws.
UCC lien priority disputes. With multiple funders filing UCC-1 financing statements against your receivables, lien priority becomes a weapon. The first funder in line has the strongest position, but later funders often filed without proper authorization or after the first funder’s blanket lien already covered everything. These disputes create leverage for settlement.
COJ defects. If any of your contracts include a confession of judgment, New York’s 2019 ban on out-of-state COJs may apply. Even for in-state businesses, COJs must follow strict procedural rules — and many MCA funders cut corners.
Week 1–2: Your defense firm reviews every contract, identifies defenses, and contacts each funder. Daily debits are typically stopped or redirected during this phase. You start breathing again.
Weeks 3–6: Parallel negotiations begin with each funder. The firm leverages each funder’s position against the others — if Funder A offers 40 cents on the dollar, Funder B knows they need to match or risk getting nothing.
Weeks 6–12: Settlements are finalized one by one. Each settlement includes a full release, UCC lien termination, and a structured payment plan you can actually afford. Most stacked MCA cases are fully resolved within 90–120 days.
Three advances. Four funders. Five daily debits. It does not matter how deep the stack goes — every stacked MCA case can be resolved. Talk to a specialist who has done it hundreds of times.
