J.G. Wentworth
reviews & complaints

Jg lie to me, they sent me 2 checks 1 for $100 for letting them know who they are and the other for $500 for signing the contract. Well on july 11 2015 I did just that and deposit both checks in the bank to pay off 3 bills well I got a phone call from sam who is handling me case and told me that after signing the check that they made a mistake and that in order to get the 500 I had to sign another contract and from 11, 000.00 I would be getting only 10, 500.00. I disagree with that call and they went and withdrew the 500.00 causing a negative on my account.

I called jg Wentworth off an advertisement I saw on TV. They seriously quoted me $80, 000 for my entire annuity worth over $2 million when I bought it. I found the guy named Michael Davis on this blog he was literally able to offer me $256, 000 for the same deal jg was offering me 80 on! His number is 561-512-3829 if you wanted to call him before you proceed any father!

I contracted with JG Wentworth several years ago agreeing that my annuity would be sent to them from METLIFE in return for a set amount of cash at the start date and then the payments would return to me at the end of the contract. It was nearly impossible getting them to send a letter to METLIFE releasing me from the contract and returning the annuity back to my name. They sent a letter to METLIFE informing them that the payment sould return to me. I checked with METLIFE and they stated that the annuity payments would be placed in my checking account, but the actual owner of the annuity stayed in JG Wentworths name. I called JG Wentworth and spoke to a young male by the name of Chris W. . I requested that they send METLIFE a letter stating that my contract with JG Wenworth was fulfilled and the ownership of the annuity was now in my name. Chris W. stated that he sent METLIFE the letter, but METLIFE stated that they never received the letter. I called back at least 10 times and asked Chris W. to please send the letter. Chris W. was the very worst customer support person I have ever dealt with. He was rude and arrogant. I was treated with total disrespect. After speaking with METLIFE customer service agent, Rita L. she was able to get JG Wentworth to send the necessary paperwork, Rita L. was wonderful. Prior to having this problem I would have dealt with JG Wentworth, but never again. I believe they want to keep the annuity in their name because it's a lot easier for them if you want to sell the annuity to them at a later date, shame on them!

Jg wentworth has promised so much and given nothing. The paperwork was sent to us next day, fedex, filled it all out n sent it back. The little man we dealt with was so helpful up until that point. Sent us a 250$ discover card with nothing on it. Because he lost paperwork, (And never called to tell me he lost it) it hasn't been funded. I call and call but he hasn't been to work in a week. Promised us a advance on our settlement and, wouldn't you know, more paperwork I was not informed about. The guy I spoke to today, cause little man went home early again today, says it must be a confusing mistake. No it's lack of effort! My court date is 2 months after the first date I called. I pray the cancellation process is faster then everything else i've been through but i'm willing to wait! I would compare it to putting your money and paperwork in the hands of a 14 yr old. Actually I know more 14yr olds with responsibility then this god awful company! I take full responsibility because all the research I did said this is how this company works. Kickin myself in the butt for not listening!

this company does all it can do to get your business. once they get your business on a partial selling of your annuity they are constantly late on sending out the remaining portion to your account. they tell you they havent got the check from them company when the check has been sent to them weeks before. they make millions in interest if they do this to everyone. bad mistake doing business with this company, cute commercials but it ends there.

These crooks called me a month after I did a transaction to see if I wanted to here more options so to be curious I did and signed paper work and all. Well after recieving paprwork those lying idiots kept coming up with excuss why my transaction wouldn't be approved and kept putting things on me as if I "called and begged them" I caught one of their so called sales agents in so many lies you would need a paddle with all that mess that was coming out of her butt. This company needs to go down...

Dragging out payment of my annuity.

I had requested to cash my annuity from J G Wentworth but after 30-45 days we were not able to complete because of tax consequences. Well that was at the beginning of July. It took a week for Wentworth to notify the annuity holder. So my August payment was made to Wentworth ! The Check was cashed by J G Wentworth August 1st and I still have not received my fund from them all I get is a response that customer service is looking into it and they will refund the fund to me.

These funds may not mean much to them but it is to me. I am running short on funds ! this could mean utilities or food to me this company sadly was going to be my relief instead it has now become a disaster.

CAUTION this company is not to be trusted my Attorney had me RECORD all my conversations with them for a report to the Security Exchange Commission if necessary and it looks like it's necessary. This is a brief synopsis I own a construction company and make around $20K a month in this crazy economic nightmare I have 11 men who have worked hard all year and kept things going as best they could for the last 3 mos I have been on my back. I was rear-ended at 65 mph by a sleepy driver while stopped in turn lane clear liability. I had to have an advance on my $250K settlement of $15000 for CHRISTMAS BONUSES and a few other small expenses until I return to work in Jan. J G Wentworth took all the info and said with this amount of medicals they could help me even though I had no surgeries from accident I said if you can't do this tell me now because I have to pay the attorney $200 to fill out the paper work and secure the med records etc again no problem. I then received a call from a company Global Funding the next day one of Wentworths "lenders" there phone # was also given to me on the initial report if I don't hear from any one call Global. So this makes me think it's there only funding source. They wanted by banking info to wire my money I was approved for I asked what the total was they said U have been approved on Dec 22 $500.00 not $15000 after
I pulled myself together and realized that my Employees and there 16 Kids would have no CHRISTMAS I asked why was I deceived into thinking I would get the money I was told the Mgt review said my case was going to settle to soon in approx 4 to 12 mos that meant they could only extract interest for a 6 or 12 month period. Now it's 2 days before CHRISTMAS and J G Wentworth has destroyed the Santa for 16 Kids if they had been honest from the start I could have gone to the bank but it would have taken 2 days longer but I would have had my money. RECORD RECORD RECORD in the state of Ala at least it's ok for one person to record and not tell after all the record for training purposes ha.
