Peachtree Settlement Picks Fight With Tooth Fairy and the Loser is "Gummy Bare"

by Structured Settlement Watchdog

Peachtree Settlement Funding has picked a fight with the tooth fairy in an apparent effort to convince children that pennies on the dollar is more valuable than bucks on the tooth. 

#PeachtreePeople should not be confused with the Tooth Fairy.  Metaphorically speaking, perhaps there is more similarity to the fairy in this clip of a scene from Raiders of The Lost Ark, when a beautiful apparition turns into a nightmare.  Instead of the Nazi attempt to harness the power of the Ark of the Covenant, there are cash now vultures trying to harness the power of your structured settlement. Instead of melting faces there are "melting structured settlements"

via GIPHY

Peachtree Settlement Funding, a sister brand to JG Wentworth has a single value proposition for structured settlement payees, that is pennies on the dollar.  Don't fall for predatory advertising that insinuates Peachtree is a childhood fantasy or its financial benefactors  (i.e. " Mom" or " Dad")

  • In my opinion, John Darer is an excellent consumer advocate in the insurance industry. When I had no one else to turn to after running up against the stone walls of these giant insurance company, John Darer used hours of his own time to investigate my situation.
