Selling Your Structured Settlement or Annuity:

What You Must Know

Chances are good you've been doing quite a bit of searching in Google lately. Trying to find the RIGHT information. Did you search for "sell my annuity"? or maybe it was "buy my structured settlement"?

Either way, the information that you found may not have brought you any closer to a decision or even helped you understand the process more clearly than when you started. One of the biggest problems with the internet is once people are trying to sell you something, the facts and the truth can sometimes get muddled.

We aren't here to sell you anything. In fact, we can't help you since you are out of the area of which we can legally do business in.

Watch for hidden fees

Your quote should be the cash you will get, not the amount BEFORE the fees are taken out.
Be careful for "bait and switch" type of offers.

Do annuity stipulations confuse you?

Such as: getting the court's approval, selling your future annuity payments and calculating the amount you’ll get, is sometimes very difficult and extremely confusing. So we've posted some answers to the most common issues and questions you might have. This can help you before you choose to sell your annuities.

Loans for structured settlements - you can get a loan, called a "pre-settlement loan" before your settlement funds to get you the cash to get you through short-term cash issues.

Settlement Funding Companies - these are typically the same types of companies with just a different name.

Structured Settlement Annuity Companies - this is essentially a structured settlement. People often classify them as annuities as they may monthly, just like an annuity does.

Remember, it is your money and if you don't feel comfortable, just hang up and call the next company. Want to call someone besides Pacific Annuity? See our list of settlement funding companies for help.
