Settlement Buyers
Factoring companies purchase structured settlements from people like you who may need to cash out their future payments early in exchange for cash now.
A structured settlement buyer, also referred to as a factoring company, purchases all or a portion of structured settlements. Companies that buy structured settlements including CBC Settlement Funding can often provide an immediate lump sum of cash in return for the right to your future payments.
Our company exchanges many types of guaranteed payments for lump sum advances, including:
- Personal injury settlements
- Insurance settlements
- Annuity payments
- Lottery payouts
Structured settlements were first created in the 1970s to help people receiving personal injury settlements and wrongful death lawsuits better manage their money to secure a long-term financial cushion. Structured settlements increased in popularity the following decade when Section 104(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and the federal Periodic Payments Settlement Act of 1982 were released. Together, they ensured personal injury and wrongful death settlements were tax-free.
The Structured Settlement Purchaser’s Role
Structured settlement companies or an annuity buyer plays a significant role in the annuity sale process. First, a buyer will provide a quote of how much they are willing to pay for future structured settlement or annuity payments. CBC Settlement Funding offers free, no-obligation quotes. The buyer’s representatives will contact the client with this information and should also be able to explain the buying process and answer any questions.
Selling a structured settlement is a legal process a judge must approve. If the client chooses to move forward with the sale, their application paperwork will be used to file a claim in their state court. CBC Settlement Funding uses a seasoned legal team to make this process as easy as possible, explaining the court proceedings along the way. If you choose to have an attorney represent you during these proceedings, our lawyers will also happily coordinate with your attorney.
After a judge approves the sale, the settlement buyers will pay the client the agreed amount up front in exchange for receiving their future structured settlement payments. CBC Settlement Funding uses checks or electronic transfer to complete this process. We also offer small cash advances to our clients at the beginning of this process for immediate access to funds.
