This is absolutely not legal advice, but this author misunderatands what a confession of judgment is. A confession would be void if signed prior to debt being due, because you can only confess to debt that is defaulted on. See: https://oregoncivpro.com/orcp-73-judgments-by-confession/

“B(4) it must have been executed after the date or dates when the sums described in the statement were due.”

I am assuming most states share this rule, but I could be wrong.




I would suspect the businesses involved rely on legal costs preventing things from even getting to the point of the confession of judgment being declared void.
