There are lots of good reasons to sell structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. With a hefty infusion of money, you can get yourself out of a financial bind or really change your life for the better. But the truth is, when you have a slow trickle of structured settlement cash coming in, reaching those goals can be painful to say the least.
Getting a lump sum in exchange for your gradual structured settlement payments paves the way for a real-life upgrade (new house, anyone?). But then again, there are a few “cons” that often creep up when people sell structured settlements when it doesn’t make sense to do so.
We’ve listed out a few pros and cons when you sell strucutred settlement payments in the ultra-cool graph below.
| Pros of Selling Your Structured Settlement | Cons of Selling Your Structured Settlement |
|---|---|
| A large lump sum from the sale of your structured settlement cash award. You can get a large cash payment all at once, rather than wait months or even years for gradual, slow-moving payments to trickle in. | Your regular, predictable payments end. Once you receive a lump sum settlement, you’ll no longer receive your structured payments (if you’ve sold all your payments, that is). |
Greater freedom and flexibility. There are numerous things that a lump sum settlement payout can allow you to do, including:
|
Managing a larger sum of money can be more challenging than budgeting smaller payments that arrive regularly.
Self-discipline on the financial front will certainly need to come into play. |
| The cash you get when you sell structured settlement payments isn’t loan money! You don’t have to pay it back, and no credit checks are involved. | Some dishonest structured settlement buyers will try to swindle you into a “pre-settlement funding” deal. It’s an advance before you’re legally able to sell your structured settlement. But if the judgment isn’t in your favor, you’ll have to pay the money back – with really high interest! |
