Debt consolidators, also known as debt settlement companies, promise to reduce your debt obligations in exchange for a fee. However, if you engage with them, you may lose control over company funds and will likely be directed to default on your obligations to your creditors, leading to collection proceedings and litigation.

No. Following the directions of such companies will breach your agreement with Fora Financial, and other creditors, and may lead to legal repercussions. Despite any claims debt consolidators might make, Fora Financial does not work directly with companies like them. We directly assist our clients, offering programs designed to provide temporary relief and help our customers navigate repayment challenges.

Once engaged, a debt consolidator will likely direct you to turn over your business funds to them or a third-party working on their behalf. This will result in a loss of control of your money, and it may be difficult to retrieve any amounts turned over.

During this stressful time, the debt consolidator will become another financial mouth to feed, and because they will control your business funds, they will ensure that they received their fee.

As a result, you will be restricted from settling your credit obligations in the manner you feel most prudent. The debt consolidator might prioritize resolving smaller balances first to collect commissions and receive further commitments from you and will leave your business with insufficient funds to address larger debts. This can trap your business in a cycle of financial instability, hindering your ability to pay creditors and operate effectively.

Absolutely. We are dedicated to providing support and guiding you through any financial challenges you may encounter, ensuring you have the assistance you need to navigate through them effectively.

It's crucial to seek assistance directly from Fora Financial. We offer dedicated opportunities and settlement options for our clients, which are not extended to debt settlement or consolidation companies. Reach out to your Fora Financial customer service representative for assistance, even if you're currently repaying an existing deal. If you engage with debt consolidators, you risk prolonging the resolution of financial challenges with Fora Financial.

Contact Fora Financial: Remember that your contract is with Fora Financial, and it's essential to keep us informed if you're considering any financial decisions or facing hardship. Reach out to us to discuss your options and explore how we can assist you. Regardless of what the debt consolidator tells you, you should contact Fora Financial as we are here to support you, our partner, and we do NOT work with any debt consolidator.

Stacking refers to the practice of obtaining additional financing while already having existing financing with Fora Financial or another funder.

Stacking is a breach of contract because when Fora Financial extends funding to your business, it is based on careful assessment of your financial situation, including your monthly revenue, business history, and other expenses. Stacking undermines this assessment and can lead to financial strain for your business and your business's ability to meet your obligation with Fora Financial. By accumulating debt from different financial institutions simultaneously, your business may struggle to meet repayment obligations, leading to cash flow shortages, increased finance charges, and potential defaults.

As a result, as set forth in your agreement, your financing with Fora Financial requires no significant alterations to your business or its finances during our relationship, stacking included.

When we extend funding to your business, we consider your business history, revenue, expenses, and bank statements. This is so your business has the opportunity to manage its remittances or payments to Fora Financial and you are not overwhelmed with your ability to repay allowing you to focus on the day-to-day of your business.

Escalating Finance Charges: Each stack will have higher proportional finance charges and a shorter payback period. This significantly increases the costs of and financial strain on your business, reducing its profitability and potentially viability.

Cash Flow Constriction: Stacking financing can strain your business's cash flow, as it must allocate more funds towards servicing these multiple obligations, leading to difficulties in payment for payroll or suppliers.

Overleveraging: By accumulating multiple financings, businesses may become overleveraged and have more debt obligations than they can reasonably manage.

Default & Litigation: If a business is unable to keep up with all its obligations, it will face default and likely litigation by one or all of the funders.

If you encounter financial difficulties or require assistance, we encourage you to reach out to Fora Financial directly. We are here to provide support and discuss tailored solutions to help you navigate any challenges you may face.
