Consumer Complaint: Wells Fargo SBA loan officer is using an acceleration clause and calling the total SBA loan amount due within 14 days, a total of {$510000.00} dollars.The SBA loan is in good standing, payments have been made.
Wells Fargo ‘s stated reason for the accelerated payment request is over an unpaid line of credit of {$49000.00}.
This line of credit was used by the previous owner of the corporation in the amount of {$27000.00}. Yet Wells Fargo is still trying to collect the entire amount of {$49000.00} from the company, moreover now we have to pay off the entire SBA loan amount of {$510000.00} Company made a {$25000.00} payment on XX/XX/2018 to stop the acceleration of the total loan, and further we made a commitment to pay the remaining amount as well since Wells Fargo would not stop the proceedings.
However in the mean time the enclosed letter arrived from Wells Fargo holding the previous owner responsible for {$27000.00}.
We have asked the loan officer to stop the acceleration payment and relieve us from the remaining debt obligation, however Wells Fargo is still perusing us for the total payment of the line of credit and the accelerated SBA payment.
Please help us resolve this issue with Wells Fargo.
