FundFirst Capital Abject Failure to Explain Difference between Structured Settlement and Annuity

by Structured Settlement Watchdog

Fund First Capital's abject failure to explain structured settlements and annuities is a great example of the structured settlement secondary market's gangrenous self-inflicted wound

They allege "Along with the growing number of people holding both structured settlements and annuities, there is an increasing confusion about what they are and if they are the same thing"  The belly flop begins with FundFirst Capital's big H1 tag " Structured Settlement is purchased while annuity is guaranteed"

The reality,  in my opinion as a credentialed structured settlement expert,  is that any alleged confusion, if there is any, is in large part the result of the ignorant, reckless and careless misinformation disseminated by the structured settlement secondary market where quantity over quality has been paramount. Some of these structured settlement secondary market companies are too cheap to hire American labor so they hire writers who are non native English speakers to crank out volumes of whatever slop they can produce.  It is not doing them or the secondary market any favors. Most of all, the misinformation is useless to consumers.

Sponsors of Structured Settlement Misinformation

• Owings Mills MD's Ryan Blank and Richart Ruddie, whose companies have been banned in Maryland for 7 years from January 2018, following a Maryland Attorney General investigation for fraud. The ban includes Annuity Sold, Uber Funding, Bendermere Capital Solutions, Axis Funding, Stonebridge Capital, Greenspring Funding, Preak Street, LLC, ILILIL2010, Palantir Packaging and JRR Funding. Einsteinstructuredsettlements(dot)com has been the primary vehicle used to disseminate misinformation. Web properties included at various times have include franklinstructuredsettlements(dot)com, moneysettlement(dot)net, strcturedsettlementcashnow(dot)come while the pair were doing work for a member of NASP.
  
• CBC Settlement Funding, a member of NASP, for their exclusive relationship with Annuity.org and Structuredsettlements.com , high value keyword domains that dispense a tremendous amount of inaccurate information. CBC Settlement Funding and its ultimate parent apparently do not care about accuracy and thus one has no choice but to conclude that CBC Settlement Funding seek to profit off the confusion of consumers, as I have comprehensively documented on this blog in prior posts.
• DRB Capital and Fairfield Funding, members of NASP, for their respective relationships with Fund First Capital
• Fairfield Funding again, for their previous relationship with JRR Funding a company later banned in Maryland for 7 years for fraud and using shoddy JRR Funding property Einstein Structured Settlements to generate leads.

CBC Settlement Funding Benefits From Another Misleading Website SellAnyAnnuity(Dot)Com

by Structured Settlement Watchdog

Operation "cash now sucks" continues thoroughout the structured settlement secondary market.

CBC Settlement Funding,  where they're hockin' in Conshohocken,  could care less about accuracy as long as it sucks financial benefits for cash now leads from lead generation websites festooned with misleading information about structured settlements, as I've shown time and time again. 

Here's CBC Settlement Funding's latest "dumpster dive",  on this occasion Sellanyannuity(dot)com produced by Webimax, a Mt. Laurel NJ company "that knows what it means to be the best":

"Selling part or all of your annuity can be beneficial if you have(sic) anticipate the economy to be worse off in the future. Selling now ensures you'll see the full amount of money. In the future, inflation or company bankruptcy could keep you from getting the full benefit".

FACT: If you sell your structured settlement payments you will NEVER get the full amount of money, no matter who you sell to.

FACT: A structured settlement is funded with an annuity contract. If there is inflation you will still receive your contracted benefit.

FACT: Life insurance companies cannot file for bankruptcy.

JG Wentworth, the most well known structured settlement purchasing firm HAS filed for bankruptcy, gone public, couldn't hack it and got delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. As of April 7, 2017 market close JG Wentworth had 9.32M in market capitalization.

FACT: The following companies issuing structured settlement annuities have been issuing annuities since the 1800s

• New York Life Insurance Company
• The Prudential Insurance Company of America
• Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
• United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York
• Pacific Life

An economic cycle is the natural fluctuation of the economy between periods of expansion (growth) and contraction (recession). Think about what has happened in the world since the 1800s and these insurance companies, which issue structured settlement annuities, are still keeping their promises. On the other hand CBC Settlement Funding is so young they could be popping zits instead of putting their imprimatur on this sh*t.

FACT: Not a single company soliciting consumers to sell their structured settlements has been in existence as long as any of the companies underwriting structured settlement annuities.
