Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Chattanooga?
A structured settlement was built to protect you over the long run. Selling part of it is about solving a problem that exists right now, whether that is surgery costs insurance did not cover, a mortgage payment falling behind, debt collectors calling, or the chance to buy into a business. For many Hamilton County sellers, cashing out a portion of future payments beats taking a loan they would repay with interest for years.
Tennessee's Structured Settlement Protection Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-2601 et seq., puts a circuit judge between you and any sale. The court must receive 20 days advance notice to all interested parties, you must obtain independent professional advice before the hearing, and the discount rate, net advance amount, and every fee must be disclosed before approval. Roughly 60 days is the normal span from contract to cash.
When you sell through this site, the transaction is funded and completed by our partner Genex Capital once the Hamilton County court approves it. Your quote arrives in writing with the discount rate stated plainly, and there is nothing to pay out of pocket. Details on Tennessee's rules are on our state page.
Simple, Transparent Process
Your written quote spells out exactly which payments you are selling, the purchase price, and the discount rate. No surprises at any step, and you owe nothing if the court does not approve.
