JG Wentworth The Originator And Often Duplicated
Imitation indeed can be the sincerest form of flattery. In the case of the structured settlement cash out, that may also be true but when the originator goes sour, what of its clones. JG Wentworth was the king of off channel and late night TV commercials promising to get you your money from a structured settlement or annuity.
Remember, It’s Your Money! And they were right. However along the way they and many who followed played on the anxious anxiety of those who really needed the money, and needed it now and desperately. Constant hammering at potential clients, charging exuberant rates, promising quicker than reality settlements and no choices of the payout or payback process became the reasons many companies don’t fare well to this day with the Better Business Bureau.
Not to single out JG Wentworth, as being the biggest will get you a ton of complaints just by sheer volume of business, but the BBB gives you a place to graphically look at all the players. Those who even peak above line in a graph of number of complaints should be further investigated no matter what their size.
In fact a small company that shows up on the radar now will probably become a big spike on the chart in short order. If you are a candidate for a cash out check the companies who will present multiple offers, normal and low fee percentage rate (they do exist) and a satisfactory rating over at the BBB.
