Fast & transparent

Clear answers, honest numbers, and no hidden fees. You'll always know exactly where things stand.

Guidance at every step

A real person walks you through the whole process and answers every question — no call centers, no runaround.

Questions & answers

Honest answers to fair questions

Why would I sell my payments?

Life changes. A settlement paid out over 20 years doesn't help much when you need to cover a medical bill, save your home, or start over today. Selling some or all of your future payments gives you access to that money now, when it matters.

How much will I receive?

It depends on the size and timing of your payments. Because a dollar today is worth more than a dollar years from now, the lump sum is less than the total of your future payments. We'll always show you the exact numbers up front so you can decide what's right for you.

How long does it take?

Every case is different, but most transfers take a few weeks to a couple of months — largely depending on court scheduling when approval is required. We'll give you a realistic timeline early on and keep you updated throughout.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. We buy payments you already own for an agreed lump sum. There are no loans, no ongoing fees, and no obligation to move forward. If it's not right for you, you simply walk away — at no cost.

Is this a loan?

No. You're not borrowing money and there's nothing to repay. You're selling a portion of future payments you're already entitled to in exchange for cash now.
