JG Wentworth and Peachtree dominate the structured settlement factoring industry representing close to 70% of the industry's structured settlement factoring transactions each year, according to a survey posted on the Settlement Quotes, LLC website. It is no coincidence that the leading two companies invest substantial amount of money on saturation advertising campaigns that are memorable but universally annoying.

Setting aside the obvious, that J.G. Wentworth and Peachtree have made spectacular returns on their advertising dollars, one wonders how many of the 70% who have embraced "Peachworth" are actually shopping around for the best deal? Structured settlement sellers may be tempted to jump at the first offer for their structured settlement payments, when it might be a wise and strategic move to preserve more capital with another factoring company and/or negotiate with one of the big advertisers.
