If you’re looking to get the most money for your structured settlement, RSL Funding can help. We’ve helped tons of customers – just like you – to sell their structured settlements for the most money possible. To discuss just how RSL Funding helps its customers get the most money for their structured settlements, we sat down with Lauren J., a customer service rep at RSL Funding, and asked her about her best experience helping a customer.
Interviewer: Hi Lauren, thank you for speaking with us today.
Lauren: My pleasure!
Interviewer: Could you share with us a memorable experience you’ve had in helping someone find someone to buy structured settlements for the most money possible?
Lauren: Of course, although it’s hard to choose a favorite, one story does stick out in my memory as exceptional.
When I met Lorna, she was a true survivor. In 2005, she was one of the tens of thousands caught off guard by hurricane Katrina and spent three days living on the roof of her house in blazing summer heat with no food or water. On the third day, she was miraculously rescued, but unfortunately the damage had already been done. Not only did she lose her house – her home for over 40 years for which she had no insurance – but also her left leg. She suffered a wound escaping her flooding home and the absence of medical supplies, food and water allowed the wound to fester, leaving doctors no choice but to amputate.
Lorna successfully sued the city for negligence and received a structured settlement as a result. Before her amputation, Lorna had been a waitress, an occupation that her aging body could no longer support with only one leg. Had she been able to supplement her income, the monthly structured settlement payments would have been adequate to help her rebuild her life and start over, but with no possible source of secondary income, she struggled.
I first spoke to Lorna in June of 2010. Due to rebuilding costs and lingering medical bills, she was overwhelmed with debt and barely able to stay afloat. Once or twice a week, she would go an entire day without eating, to save enough money to keep the power on. This was no way for a 65-year-old survivor like Lorna to be living.
Interviewer: What advice or counsel did you provide Lorna regarding selling her structured settlement?
Lauren: At first, none. I simply listened to her story and then evaluated the options open to her and whether or not RSL Funding could help. After hearing Lorna’s story, I had no doubt that receiving a lump sum in exchange for structured settlement payments could drastically improve her situation; however, I wanted to make sure her situation did improve and that she didn’t end up worse off in the future.
Together, we discussed possible ways she could spend the money that would improve her future. We chose the best and put together a financial roadmap she could follow that made it easy for her. Lorna had very little experience in financial matters and was grateful for the advice; she admitted that if left to her own devices, she may very well have squandered the money.
Interviewer: How did things turn out for Lorna?
Lauren: I’m happy to report, things turned out great! She followed the financial roadmap that we planned together to the letter – instead of barely surviving, she is now thriving! With the money she received from selling her structured settlement to RSL Funding, she was able to pay off nagging medical bills and finish much needed repairs to her house. She now lives quite comfortably – in the exact same lot where her old house was – and has learned to adapt to life with only one leg.
Interviewer: Do you think things may have turned out differently had Lorna not come to RSL Funding?
Lauren: Definitely. When Lorna came to RSL Funding she was vulnerable and had very little knowledge of financial matters. Many structured settlement buyers would have used that to their advantage by giving her less money than she deserved and setting her up for failure by not helping her to plan future moves. Luckily for Lorna, she chose RSL Funding and received the most money for her structured settlement, allowing her to accomplish all she needed to get her life back on track. She was also fortunate to have chosen a company that cared about her wellbeing even after she sold her structured settlement. The financial plan we came up with helped Lorna to spend her money appropriately in ways that would benefit her future self; as such, she is better off today than before she sold her structured settlement, something that unfortunately not all customers of less scrupulous structured settlement buyers can say.
