Funding situations
Paying off an advance is the best thing that can happen to a file, as long as the paperwork closes it.
✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.
At Merchant Fund Express, here is the short answer: A paid-off advance returns you to first position once the debit ends and the lien is terminated. Confirm both.
The debit ends and you are back to first position.
A UCC termination should be filed. Confirm it.
A completed advance reads as repayment history.
| When | Event |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Final payment |
| Day 1 to 5 | Payoff letter |
| Within weeks | UCC-3 termination filed |
| Month 1 to 2 | Clean statements show no debit |
All figures in worked examples are illustrations of the arithmetic, not offers or quotes. Real terms depend on your file and the funder.
