: Structured Settlements 4RealSettlement Funding: What's Your CBC?
By John Darer
Your doctor will sometimes schedule a CBC blood test to monitor your health, watch for indirect indications of disease direction, and side effects of treatment. But when it comes to those with structured settlement payments, do you really need a CBC?
You see "cash now pusher" Covered Bridge Capital Settlement Funding (CBC) falsely advertises that you can "get your cash today!" in an advertisement accompanying its press release* announcing move from Blue Bell to Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.
CBC also presents an interesting character study in its press release. It has human beings as both a title and a rule of conduct. William J. Skynn, former in-house counsel for "The Bryn Mawr Bunch- JG Wentworth is listed as a Principal., while another JG Wentworth alum James Goodman is described as a "Principle".
The "principle" that leads a company, like CBC, to use of false cash now advertising is not a very good start, in my opinion. The company's use of "cash today" is egregious.
If you have a structured settelment, need cash and you have exhausted other options, there are plenty of companies in the factoring industry that are both competitive and do not falsely advertise.
