      I have a structured settlement and I need cash now. Call JG Wentworth. 877-CASH-NOW

      They’ll buy your structured settlement on the cheap so that you get lump-sum cash. Then they collect the payout from the responsible party. It’s win-win for them.

      They also did debt relief stuff too, but as a kid, I only remember the structured settlement commercials.

        To expand - a structured settlement is when you sue someone, and they settle out of court, but part of the settlement is that they pay out over time, not all of it immediately.
