Written by the company
For over 30 years, JG Wentworth has served thousands of customers who want to achieve financial freedom. Recognized as USA Today’s Most Trusted Brand (2026) and a USA Today Top Workplace (2024–2026), we’re proud to deliver solutions people can rely on. Whether you owe money or are owed money, we can help you meet your financial goals.
If you’re owed money
You may know about our structured settlement program from our famous, operatic jingle—but did you know that in addition to buying structured settlement payment streams in exchange for lump sums, we also purchase annuity payments, lottery prizes, and casino winnings?
At JG Wentworth, we believe that you should be able to access the money owed to you now, not later, and we have a solution for anyone who wants to receive their payments upfront. If you have a payment stream, we’ll purchase some or all of your future payments for the best price, guaranteed. In return, you’ll receive a lump sum payment when you need it—instead of getting it on someone else’s schedule. We make the process as simple and stress-free as possible for our customers, offering excellent customer service and answering all your questions as we go.
If you owe money
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your debt, we can help. JG Wentworth’s debt relief program allows customers to lower their debt while repaying it fast, with many of our customers graduating from the program in just 2-4 years.
Here’s how it works: when you call us, you’ll speak with one of our certified debt specialists so we can get an idea of what you owe, what type of debt you have, and what your options are. Together, we create a personalized program to repay your debt and help you set aside money each month into a dedicated savings account. Meanwhile, we negotiate with your creditors on your behalf to lessen the total amount of debt you owe, staying connected with you each time we successfully negotiate a lower amount. We treat our debt relief program like a partnership, offering support to all current and graduated clients.
A name you can trust
At JG Wentworth, we value transparency and remain committed to giving each of our customers a great experience. As a USA Today Most Trusted Brand (2026) and Top Workplace (2024–2026), we continue to put our customers first. Money matters can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help you understand your options and achieve your financial goals.

Worse experience of my life . Went to them for pre-settlement funding . Never get a call back from my advisor . Anytime I ask questions never get the answer to them . Had me sign all these documents basically making sure they take they’re cut out but are horrible and unprofessional. When I tried to withdrawal totally rude about it . Why would I want to work with people I don’t even know what’s going on with money . . If you’re thinking about it please don’t do it . Worse mistake I made .
Here’s a firm review that avoids making unsupported legal accusations:
**Title: Extremely Disappointing Experience — Understand Every Cost Before Agreeing**
My experience with J.G. Wentworth left me feeling misled and deeply dissatisfied. The process did not feel as clear or transparent as I expected, particularly regarding the total cost, fees, timeline, and the amount I would ultimately receive.
The advertising made the service sound simple and helpful, but the actual terms were far less attractive than I anticipated. Communication also did not meet my expectations, and I felt pressured to move forward before all my concerns were adequately addressed.
I strongly recommend getting every fee, deduction, and payment figure in writing before signing anything. Carefully compare the amount you are giving up with the amount you will receive, consult an independent financial or legal professional, and do not rely solely on sales explanations.
Based on my experience, I would not use J.G. Wentworth again or recommend the service.

Marcel was completly awesome. I truly appreciated his patience and kindness. Perfect

My person was very helpful, explained the process well, and answered all my questions with out making me feel like there was judgement for my situation. I think the hardest part of the call is the guilt and shame we debtors have so this is very important.

I am writing to follow up on the paperwork I signed during recent call meeting. At the time, I understood these documents were only to request more information and continue the process.
I previously raised questions about certain fees and cards that I did not wish to add, and was mentioned I could address this before August 28, 2026. However, after reviewing the documents, I noticed several fees and terms that were not fully explained to me.
I sent an email regarding this matter earlier but have not yet received a reply. I hope they can contact me as soon as possible to clarify these terms and help me adjust the agreement before the September 4 when the money will by deducted from my account.

Robyn helped us and was fantastic about explaining things to us and guiding us to the right goal. Thank you so much for being so kind and thorough.

Reply from JG Wentworth
While my experience was quite good, there were several people afterwards looking to destroy my confidence and change my mind. I am looking forward to actually getting started and leading to a successful conclusion down the road.
