Several years ago the structured settlement watchdog started ragging on certain Certified Structured Settlement Consultants for credential puffery, with some doing themselves no favors by citing the incorrect name of university they claimed awarded their professional certification. These appeared on company websites and in Social Media such as LinkedIn. I'm not going to name them because I am too ashamed and embarassed for the structured settlement industry and the apathy of the few.
But if YOU have interest in scavenger hunts, try Googling "CSSC Notre Dame University" or " Certified Structured Settlement Consultant Notre Dame University".
University of Notre Dame is South Bend, Indiana. Notre Dame University is in Zouk Mosbeh Lebanon. One of them hosts the Certified Structured Settlement Consultant educational program over 4 days and the other doesn't. Most significant is that neither university actually awards the designation, the National Structured Settlements Trade Association does.
