And the sad thing Steve is that Hindert and his co-authors have not addressed the subject of "servicing" of structured settlement payments in cases where holders of structured settlement payment rights sell only part of their payments but are either forced to transfer all of their payments allegedly due to life company unwillingness to split payments or, ostensibly as a scheme by a factoring company to control payments from future sales of structured settlement payment rights. The actors in this drama have yet to come forward with a definitive answer to what happens if the servicing factoring company goes belly up. The JG Wentworth Chapter 11 and Peach Holdings credit troubles give us considerable pause because they have been promoted as the 2 largest companies in that business.

This also from Settlementblog.net on what I thought was the seminal text on our industry:
“Structured Settlements and Periodic Payment Judgments” is a great book about the effects of “Structured Settlement Factoring Transactions“. The book provides readers with guidelines, procedures and definitions to help them transfer payments from their structured settlements.
The book has a total of 1050 pages, is written in English and has a weight of 10.04 ounces, it can be bought from amazon.com at the price of $279.00 and ships in 1-4 weeks.
WOW.
