About JG Wentworth

Written by the company

JG Wentworth Logo

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.

I made the right choice! No pressure, no gimmicks. True, honest people.

The first time I spoke with someone from JG Wentworth, I was on the fence about consolidating my debt. The rep was very patient with me and gave me honest advice for my specific situation. Months later I made the decision finally to go with JG Wentworth and Aaron helped me get all set up with my loan. He, also, was very patient as well as compassionate. He listened to my concerns and my unique situation. I felt that I was heard and I could truly trust Aaron to guide me in the right direction. I am very happy with my experience and confident I have made the right decision.

Alex made my experience great! I contacted JGW just to get some information about your program and ended up signing up to be a client. He answered every question I had sometimes two or three times until he was positive I understood. He was patient and knowledgeable. We ended the call with me knowing that my future was getting a brand new start! Thanks Alex!!

I had a really frustrating experience…

I had a really frustrating experience with JG Wentworth’s debt solution program. From the beginning, the fees were not clearly explained, and what I was told upfront didn’t match what I ended up being charged. It felt misleading and left me questioning their transparency.

On top of that, communication was extremely poor. Once I was enrolled, it became very difficult to get clear answers or even reach someone who could explain what was going on with my account. Calls and emails often went unanswered, and when I did get a response, it was vague and unhelpful.

Overall, I felt unsupported and misled throughout the process. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this program to ask detailed questions, get everything in writing, and explore other options before committing.

The debt relief program and process

The debt relief program and process was explain in great detail with transparency and honesty. The agent that helped me was kind, patient, knowledgeable and sincere. He allowed me to ask questions and receive well informed answers. Received reassurance and confidence without pressure of needing a decision immediately allowing me time to make a well informed decision that would be the best one for my situation. I appreciate that this company does not use a third party outsource andcdoes the debt relief in house while utilizing an Attorney group for the legal parts. My agent made me feel confident I was making the right choice one I did not take lightly. Thank you for helping me move forward financially when I had tried all I knew to do but was still just spinning my wheels not going anywhere.
