Lujerio Cordero v Transamerica Annuity Service Corporation a/k/a Wilton Re Annuity Service Corporation FLSD Case 1:18-cv-21665-DPG
Filed: April 26, 2018 Status: Discovery is Ongoing
Lawsuit against assignment company for alleged breach of its contractual and fiduciary obligations under a structured settlement agreement and its failure to act in Plaintiff's best interests by invoking anti-assignment provisions, among other things. Plaintiff is a lead paint victim who had a 30 years certain structured settlement established December 20, 2008. All payments were gone in 6 structured settlement factoring transactions (4 in the Sumter County Florida Court, then a "structured settlement slaughterhouse", 2 in Broward County) from July 11, 2012 to May 15, 2014. Throughout all six sales, the complaint alleged that Lujerio was told only to sign and initial the documents placed before him, with those locations marked for his convenience. He was never told and did not understand the nature or ramifications of what he was signing in exchange for “some” future payments. Told not to bother reading what he signed, and subjectively aware that even reading the documents would be difficult, he complied Lujerio was never told that he had a right to receive independent advice, much less that he should seek such advice or even that there was any reason to do so.

Class action complaint brought to end and remedy a scheme which alleges Defendant purchasers , a lawyer (Stephen Heretick, who is a VIrginia delegate),and other individuals who have joined together to frustrate and evade the requirements of state and federal law designed to protect the beneficiaries of structured settlement annuities. According to the Amended Complaint, Heretick, then a Portsmouth VA City Council member and currently a member of the Virginia House of delegates designed a scheme not to advance the legitimate legal interests of his clients, but instead solely and entirely to defeat the regulatory scheme and to enable sales of plaintiffs' income streams on terms that: a. would never be accepted by a beneficary if the beneficiary had been advised by a well informed and objective advisor; b. would never be approved after receiving a meaningful judicial review. The Complaint also sounds in forum shopping to defeat state an federal law requirements. Thousands of cases are at issue.
