My Structured Settlements Dilemma
Finance and Insurance April 14th, 2010The woman who contacted me about the structured settlements that I had been awarded four years ago, told me that something had happened with the paperwork and I would have to wait an additional six to eight months till I would get the money. I was shocked, here I was thinking that my days of just barely getting by since I cannot work the same as I used to, were going to be over soon.
Then she told me that I might want to consider that I could sell structured settlement and it would only take about seventy days or so. I wondered how much money I would lose by choosing this route but maybe I could just sell the lowest amounted settlement and then wait the six to eight months for the bigger one. Since I thought that I could sell structured settlement payments and then get money up front, it was looking like things were going to turn out okay. I contacted the necessary people to get the ball rolling on the selling of the structured settlements, or at least one of them but I was going to weigh all the pros and cons after talking to my lawyer and then make up my mind on what to do.
