JG Wentworth's process took longer than I had liked, but overall, it was smooth. They had originally told me it would take as little as six weeks, and it ended up taking about three months. The rep I worked with had good communication. We communicated a lot through text, which was good for me. He was friendly, and my expectations were met.

The process was okay. They definitely got the job done. But they can improve in terms of communication and having a set deadline.

Original review: Jan. 5, 2023

The guy that I dealt with was just a salesman. He was out of the office and he didn't answer my text messages in a timely fashion. He didn't call me back. I would call into the office and speak to random other people that were more helpful than him. I got frustrated with him a couple of times, but he kept reiterating that, "Hey, I'm not in charge of the process. All I can do is push the paperwork, and then we have to wait for this and we have to wait for that." He just took himself out of the equation constantly. That caused a three-month delay in getting my money.

In the way annuities are done, that would mean that I lost out on a bit of money because it was three months later. All of their buying power is based off of how long it takes for them to get their money back on the annuities. So if you have an annuity and it comes due in 10 years, they're gonna give you a lot less versus annuity if I have it and it comes out in five years. It's more guaranteed since that's coming in five years and not 10. So they're gonna give you a higher percentage of the total annuity. It's based on market value the day of. Even though the process took longer than expected and was promised, I got the money and JG Wentworth sent it all to me whenever the process was done and the judge had finally been seen and done the paperwork. But overall, I don't think that I would use them again.

There were a couple of hiccups. There were certain things that they were not very clear about as far as the timing and the process itself. But the process went okay other than that.

I loved the experience. They do everything. I called them and asked if they can do this for me. They said, "Yeah. Hold up, I got you. Boom, here's your court date." We went to my court date and he was like, "Boom, you're approved." A couple of days later, we got the money and now we're all set.

JG's rep, Brandon, kept in contact with us on every little step. If we ever had any questions, he was always available for us to speak to. He was very excellent in everything he did. If I could give the man an award, I would. He still calls us at least once a week or emails us just to see how things are going to check up on us. We've never had any other company do that. We are very satisfied with everything. Before we even got the settlement, I had ended up in an accident and crashed my vehicle. So, we were without a vehicle until that settlement came in. We were homeless living in a hotel. Now, we’re stable in an apartment. We have vehicles. We're like breathing above water right now.

The process with JG Wentworth was very smooth. I just went to the court. The judge said yes, and they sent me the money. The gentleman that was helping me was very informative and helpful. He was there the entire process to explain things to me and make sure that I was well aware of everything and how it was going to happen. Working with JG helped out a lot with some things that I needed to take care of. I would recommend it.

I was gonna go with somebody else but the gentleman with JG Wentworth told me that they were not doing such a good service for me. I still didn't want to believe him but he was persistent in what he was saying and that changed my mind. I listened to what the gentleman was saying and that won me over. Working with JG Wentworth was 100% great. People can trust them because they stand behind what they say.

I've been dealing with JG Wentworth for years. They're good people. They called me and I was glad they did because I could use some cash. And it worked out. They set up their paper signing, I got me my cash. It came in handy. Everything went good. I'm a happy man. I have been 100% satisfied with them. If you guys are structured settlement, you need cash, I would do that with JG Wentworth.

I called up and got an offer from JG Wentworth. Their offer was the easiest and it was the highest across the board. They’re very competitive. This is my second time going about it, so it was straightforward. The only thing that had a hiccup with was the bonus for the return customers. I didn't get it until a couple of weeks after I got my results on them. Other than that, it was very professional. It made it a lot easier to get into the house and go about my life goals.

The process of signing papers took so long for me. The process extended another two weeks because they had to get ahold of my ex-wife and have her sign all kinds of papers. Plus, I had to pay her $2,000. JG Wentworth helped me with a thousand, but I had to pay her $2,000 just for my ex-wife to sign papers for me. That's one thing that they should look into. But overall, they were very helpful and stayed on top of everything. They are a good company.

I called JG Wentworth and told them what I needed. They told me what they could do as far as helping me out. I had to sign the applicant agreement and then I didn't hear from them for a couple of days. Then they let me know, “Hey, everything went through okay. We have a date. If you have any questions, just let us know.” The date came up and I went through the hearing, and then two days later, I got the money. They were all very friendly and helpful. Everything went great.

My experience with JG Wentworth was good. We had a couple of bumps on the road. That turnaround time was not as fast as other places that I've used before but overall, out of 100, I'll give it about a 90. David, the rep, kept in constant contact with me. So that was great.

My experience with JG was amazing and they helped me. They said my court date was on the 30th and I got my money seven days after that, which was pretty fast. The only thing that I was upset about was it was too expensive. I asked for 15,000 and they charged me 32,500. JG put on TV, “It's my money and I need it now.” I understand that they were gonna go get me my money not charging me double and plus. If they're gonna give me $15,000, I'm not supposed to pay for the 15,000 because it's my money. But I needed the money to pay for my house and for the taxes. I'm not going to lose almost half a million dollars over $7,000. Overall, they did get me the money and I'm not losing my house. They texted me again asking if I needed more money and I told them I would let them know.

Original review: July 1, 2022

JG Wentworth offered me an amount of money for my annuity checks and I told them I couldn’t part with that much money a month. They said they figured a different amount out. When I talked to my financial person, he came up with a different offer and JG wouldn't accept that offer. They were offering 180 for 1,000 a month. He asked for 50,000 for 250 a month. My financial person reworked the numbers and I called JG back. I said I would take the offer. A manager was put on and he said they never offered to take 1,000. They wanted to take all of my money. But I had it in writing. They then said the offer was not there anymore. They gave me two other offers. The third offer they gave me was based off of 800. I said I can’t give them more than 500. The rep said she would get back to me but she hasn’t. They don't communicate well between departments. They don't want to do fair deals either.

The process with JG Wentworth Structured Settlements was okay. It was pretty simple. It was just time-consuming. The first one we did took three months. THat aside, Michael was our rep and he was great. Working with this company gave me a positive mindset and it was definitely beneficial. This is a company to look into over all other ones.

Original review: May 27, 2022

I called JG Wentworth and got a quote on my annuity payments. The first quote I received I didn't like so I called a couple other places but I being a dummy went with jg anyways cause they matched or beat the competition so we had made an agreement but they tried to pull a fast one on the day of court. Well I caught it and it started the first quote and not our agreement. The case worker told me that he would take care of it and we should proceed cause it would take awhile to get another court date. I took the man's word for it and told him he had to at least mention it to the judge for me to proceed. All this was done but few months ago I was waiting for my payment there wasn't one so I contact jg Wentworth and they tell me that I'm screwed and that they won't do anything and can't do anything to help me.

I feel like they could've but just didn't want to. I feel robbed and this isn't a lil bit of money cause on top of all that they charged me 50 percent the payment that they received but wouldn't have if I gone somewhere else was $64k and it was from me losing my mother in a car wreck by a drunk driver talking about feeling sick. These people do not care bout you or anyone else. They just want your money.
