There has never been a better time to "shop around" and talk with various companies about getting cash for your structured settlement.
Why?
Because the Internet makes them have to compete with each other in a *fierce* way - that's absolutely great news for you!
Just to make sure we're on the same page, let's look at a typical story of why someone might want to sell their structured settlement for a lump sum payment and who (of course) also wants to get the best possible deal.
Let's say Steve is involved in a bad car accident and is awarded a structured settlement of $200,000.00, that he receives in $10,000.00 per year installments.
This next part is just a quick aside, but people often ask why their payments aren't often awarded in lump sums...
The answer is simple: insurance carriers would rather break down your settlement into smaller, periodic payments so they don't have to part with too much money at once.
It makes economic sense for them but may not be so easy for our friend Steve, who can't continue his job as a result of his accident and doesn't have enough income to pay his new medical bills and continue paying his mortgage!
Paying off debt and needing to "just get by" is just one good reason someone like Steve might want to sell their structured settlement.
Bottom Line: Don't just call the company you hear advertising on the radio so often... do your research and approach multiple companies for a quote. You'll be glad you did!
