- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County
- Docket
- Index No. 608170/2023
No Judgment Entered — Matter Resolved Through Bankruptcy
A merchant cash advance dispute does not have to end in a quick judgment. In this matter, the borrower held off collection for approximately 18 months before resolving the matter through bankruptcy. No judgment was entered against the merchant during that period.

Fora Financial Funding, LLC v. Sasha Corporation, Sherpa Coaching, Inc. & Jeremy Davis
- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County
- Docket
- Index No. 608192/2023
No Judgment Entered — Guarantor Actively Contesting
A merchant cash advance claim is not a foregone conclusion. More than three years after the alleged breach, the funder still has no judgment in hand — and the guarantor who chose to fight is still in the case. Contesting the claim, rather than ignoring it, changed the entire trajectory of the matter.

Fratello Capital, LLC v. Right Touch NC LLC & Tori Michelle Person
- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County
- Docket
- Index No. 610978/2024
Dismissed With Prejudice
A dismissal with prejudice is final — the plaintiff cannot refile the same claims later. Unlike a dismissal without prejudice, which leaves the door open to sue again, this outcome permanently put the matter to rest. Here, a $15,627.28 claim was permanently resolved in under nine months.

Funding Futures LLC v. Chicken Paradise Inc., et al. & Lily Mendoza
- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County
- Docket
- Index No. 532948/2024
Discontinued — No Judgment Entered
This action was dropped in full, with no judgment entered against the businesses or the guarantor. The discontinuance was without prejudice — meaning the plaintiff was not barred from refiling the same claims later — but what the record establishes is that this matter closed without any judgment against the defendants.

- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Monroe County
- Docket
- Index No. E2024011525
No Judgment Entered — Actively Contested

Honest Funding LLC v. Sushi House WPB Inc & Kongkham Phanly
- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Queens County
- Docket
- Index No. 711321/2025
No Judgment Entered — Actively Contested
Even a mid-five-figure merchant cash advance claim can take years once it's genuinely contested. This case is grinding through depositions and document exchange, with the court not expecting a trial-ready file until mid-2027 — more than two years after it was filed, and with no judgment entered against the merchant.

Funding Futures LLC v. Liberty, Inc. d/b/a Liberty Electric Inc. & Michele Marae Gatti
- Court
- Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County
- Docket
- Index No. 532943/2025
Answer Filed — Actively Contested
A six-figure merchant cash advance claim is not the end of the story. Rather than allow a default judgment to be entered, the defendants answered within a month and put the funder to its proof — challenging the transaction as a criminally usurious loan and asking the court to dismiss the case. The matter is now being litigated on the merits.
