Once they have buried the property with ridiculous, but often legal, fees and charges, they eat up all of your equity making the property have no net value.\u00a0 They then try to foreclose causing the commercial property owner to incur tens of thousands in legal fees while also running up a massive bill on their side.\u00a0 Then they try to convince you to deed the property to them or they proceed to foreclosure and buy the property at auction.If you find yourself in default or in foreclosure in a commercial cash management loan, do not roll over, and do not allow the loan servicer to take advantage of you.\u00a0 There may be a real defense that you can assert to turn the tables on the loan predator, I mean loan servicer.\u00a0 You cannot just turn to any law firm though.\u00a0 You need an aggressive law firm that specializes in defending foreclosures and has experience in defending cash management loan foreclosures.One of the defenses that you may be able to assert is the negotiability of the promissory note.\u00a0 These commercial cash management mortgages are extremely complex legal instruments that often span dozens, if not hundreds, of total pages.\u00a0 A promissory note is a simple promise to pay a fixed sum of money is a negotiable instrument in Florida.\u00a0 This means that the loan can be sole multiple times and any company that is in possession of the note indorsed in blank may enforce the note.\u00a0 Often, these commercial cash management loan foreclosures have promissory notes that are indorsed in blank.\u00a0 However, cash management loans are anything but simple promises to pay.\u00a0 They contain provisions as I have alluded to above, like occupancy and cash flow requirements that can trigger a default.\u00a0\u00a0 This may make the loan a non-negotiable instrument.\u00a0 If that is all the loan servicer has to prove it has the right to enforce the note, they may have a real problem on their hands and you may have a real defendable case.Negotiability is only one of the myriad of issues that may be raised in defense of a cash management mortgage loan.\u00a0 It is certainly not advisable to roll over and give up nor is it advisable to use a lawyer who is not well versed in these types of mortgages.\u00a0 Finding a lawyer who understands these loans and has experience in defending defaults and foreclosures relating to these loans may make the difference between saving your commercial property and losing it entirely.Further, these loans often have personal guarantees that could leave the guarantors liable for hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars, of liability.\u00a0\u00a0 These mortgages are terrible and are generally full of terms that only benefit the lender and their successors.\u00a0 There is too much at stake to leave the defense of these defaults and foreclosures to amateurs.\u00a0 Call Loan Lawyers today for your free consultation to discuss your commercial cash management mortgage loan and let\u2019s see how we may be able to help you.About the AuthorLatest PostsMatis AbarbanelMatis Abarbanel is the founding partner and senior attorney at Loan Lawyers in South Florida.
