Structured Settlement Aper's Pillory

• HERE'S THE UNFORTUNATE REALITY
  Due to initial interest confusion caused by current featured and soon to be featured Structured Settlement Apers, this author's company, 4structures,com LLC and a blog post from another settlement professional, were the ONLY structured settlement firms, that actually place structured settlements, that can actually deliver structured settlement annuity quotes, that appeared in a Google search for "structured settlement quote" on 03/19/2009.
• Most of these companies fail to use the word structured settlement factoring to describe what they do even though that's what they do.
• IT'S THE CASE OF "MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO"! But in this case it's NOT FLATTERING!
•          
• FAIRFIELD FUNDING-In business less than a year and already exhibiting a simian approach. On August 24, 2009 it was discovered that 4 URLs of legitimate structured settlement brokerage firms were being used in Google Adwords sponsored ads ostensibly to steer business to Fairfield Funding. These ads appeared in searches for the legitimate company.
  
• WOODBRIDGE INVESTMENTS These punks claim to be able to provide structured settlement quotes, annuity quotes, free structured settlement quotes in the source code meta tags of their website. The page title programmed to come up in search engines is "free online quote structured settlements and annuities".
• VIA TRUST INC. The celebrated Douglas Petrie of Hasbrouck Heights NJ owns the misinforming use of "structured settlement broker"
  
• PEACHTREE SETTLEMENT FUNDING
  Called itself a "structured settlement business" in a press release on Business Wire in June 2007. Also deserves to be pilloried for effectively charged Florida resident Patricia Chambers an effective rate of 41.73% for her structured settlement payment rights X------------------------ X------------------------
• SENECA ONE, LLC Factoring company at the butt end of the Cimielewski case that uses the misleading trade name of Structured Settlement Processing Group. The company DOES NOT place structured settlements and a call to their toll-free number on March 27, 2008 confirmed that it has no insurance license to sell annuities, including structured settlement annuities.
• NOVATION CAPITAL, LLC
  Ivy League "peacocks". Their advertising suggests that they must think consumers just fell off the turnip truck and those of us in the structured settlement industry aren't watching. Continually and falsely maintains it can deliver "free structured settlement quote", gives testimonials about the factoring process but mischaracterizes this as the "structured settlement process ", which, promotes itself a leader in an industry for which it lacks professional license and credentials. Birds of a feather with JG Wentworth without the same dough. The company's president, Robin Marc Shapiro, leads the National Association of Settlement Purchasers and has missed an opportunity to set a good example.
• J.G. WENTWORTH
  For consistently (in various manifestations) trying to create the mistaken impression that it is a structured settlement company when in reality it is nothing more than a big FACTORING company.
• NORTHEASTERN CAPITAL FUNDING-NY (keyword stack on web pages implies they gve structured settlement quotes, structured settlement loans, no mention of factoring in keyword stack)
• These "cash now pusher" companies use terms in their advertising that imply that they do something that they do not. Structured Settlements 4Real will continue to smoke these "offenders" out for public pillory in the hope that they will change their tune!
