OSBC Action (2024)
Kansas sits at the geographic center of the nation's freight network, and its small business economy reflects that — trucking, logistics, agriculture, and supporting industries dominate. The state's 260,000 small businesses face a 62% bank underservice rate. Kansas's usury cap of 15% for consumer lending provides some protection, but commercial transactions are largely exempt under K.S.A. §16-207. The Office of the State Bank Commissioner has increased MCA oversight, but the state's position as a pass-through for national freight creates exposure to out-of-state lenders who target Kansas trucking operations.

5.0 Delancey Street was founded in New York City for a specific reason: this is where MCA funders live, and this is where their collection attorneys file. The firm's founding team includes licensed attorneys and former MCA industry insiders — people who worked on the funder side of the table before crossing over to represent the businesses getting squeezed. That dual perspective is their core differentiator.

Legal Landscape: Kansas Business Debt Protections
Understanding the regulatory framework is the difference between settling on your terms and getting bulldozed:
Kansas Statutes Annotated §16-207 caps consumer interest at 15%. Commercial lending is largely exempt, though the OSBC has authority to investigate deceptive practices. Kansas courts have limited case law on MCA recharacterization, but the general trend follows other Midwestern states in applying substance-over-form analysis.
OSBC issues advisory on MCA registration requirements. The State Bank Commissioner clarified that MCA providers must register with the state, closing a loophole that had allowed dozens of unregistered providers to target Kansas businesses.
OSBC secures $4.8M in enforcement against unregistered MCA providers. The office identified 9 MCA companies operating in Kansas without registration and assessed penalties totaling $4.8 million, including restitution for affected businesses.
Johnson County District Court rules on MCA reconciliation in Midwest Carriers v. SpeedFund LLC. The court found that the funder's failure to perform reconciliation as required by the agreement constituted breach and ordered recalculation of all payments based on actual revenue.
Why This Matters for Settlement
Each legal development gives a debt settlement firm more leverage. A funder facing regulatory scrutiny knows that court carries consequences. That turns a 100-cents-on-the-dollar demand into a 40-cent settlement.
The 3 Best Business Debt Settlement Companies for Kansas Businesses
#1
Delancey Street
5.0
Delancey Street was founded in New York City for a specific reason: this is where MCA funders live, and this is where their collection attorneys file. The firm's founding team includes licensed attorneys and former MCA industry insiders — people who worked on the funder side of the table before crossing over to represent the businesses getting squeezed. That dual perspective is their core differentiator.
For Kansas businesses, Delancey Street's expertise in contract-based MCA defenses — reconciliation enforcement, formation defects, and UCC challenges — is critical. Their attorneys understand the Midwest Carriers precedent and can construct arguments that resonate with Kansas courts. For trucking and aviation companies, Delancey's industry-specific knowledge of payment cycles and funder tactics provides an edge.
Strengths
- NYC-based, attorney-founded — national MCA expertise
- Former MCA industry insiders who know funder playbooks
- $100M+ settled across 1,000+ cases nationwide
- Can challenge COJs, UCC liens, invoke usury recharacterization
- Zero upfront fees — performance-based only
- Single dedicated team per case
Considerations
- Business debt only — no personal credit cards or student loans
- Minimum debt threshold may apply
- Smaller than mass-market firms — personal attention, not volume
Our Verdict
If your problem is MCA debt, stacked advances, or a COJ/UCC lien against your Kansas business — Delancey Street is the most relevant choice. For consumer debt, see #2.
#2
National Debt Relief
4.7
National Debt Relief is the largest and most credentialed debt settlement company in the United States. They've served over 1.3 million clients since 2009. Their Trustpilot score sits at 4.7 stars across 43,000+ reviews. Forbes Advisor has named them the top-rated debt settlement company three years running. They carry a BBB A+ rating, IAPDA certification, and ACDR accreditation.
The important caveat for Kansas business owners: National Debt Relief's core competency is consumer unsecured debt — credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans. They are not built for MCA defense. Their negotiators are IAPDA-certified specialists, not licensed attorneys.
For Kansas business owners with personal consumer debt, National Debt Relief serves the state and understands Kansas's consumer protection framework.
Strengths
- 1.3 million clients served — largest in the U.S.
- BBB A+, IAPDA, ACDR, Forbes #1 three years
- No upfront fees — 15-25% post-settlement
- FDIC-insured escrow, 24-48 month programs
Considerations
- Consumer debt only — not MCA or COJ defense
- Not attorney-led
- $7,500 minimum
- Requires stopping payments — credit impact
Our Verdict
For Kansas business owners with personal consumer debt — NDR is the gold standard. They settle consumer debt, not MCA contracts.

Accredited Debt Relief
4.5
Accredited Debt Relief, based in San Diego, California, has been in the debt settlement industry since 2011. They hold a BBB A+ rating and IAPDA certification, providing consumer and business debt settlement services nationwide. Their approach combines negotiation expertise with a structured savings program.
For Kansas business owners, Accredited Debt Relief offers an alternative to larger firms with more personalized attention. Their fee structure is performance-based, and they maintain a strong track record on ConsumerAffairs and Trustpilot.
The limitation for Kansas business owners is the same as NDR: Accredited Debt Relief is not attorney-led. They cannot file motions, challenge court filings, or provide legal representation in MCA disputes. For consumer debt, they're solid. For MCA defense requiring legal expertise, they'll need to refer out.
Our Verdict
Accredited Debt Relief is a competent debt settlement firm for consumer obligations. For Kansas business owners whose primary issue is personal credit card or medical debt, they're a viable option. For MCA-specific challenges requiring legal expertise, pair them with an attorney-led firm like Delancey Street.
A Warning About "MCA Relief" Companies
The Kansas Attorney General's office and the FTC have both received reports of fake 'debt relief' firms contacting businesses trapped in MCA debt via text messages and social media. These operations typically recommend stopping all payments to funders, collect an upfront fee, and then disappear — leaving the business in default, exposed to lawsuits, and out the fee. If someone contacts you unsolicited promising to eliminate your MCA debt, verify their credentials independently. Check for a physical address, a BBB profile, attorney bar numbers, and a track record of completed settlements before signing anything.
