About JG Wentworth

Written by the company

JG Wentworth Logo

For over 30 years, JG Wentworth has served thousands of customers who want to achieve financial freedom. Recognized as USA Today’s Most Trusted Brand (2026) and a USA Today Top Workplace (2024–2026), we’re proud to deliver solutions people can rely on. Whether you owe money or are owed money, we can help you meet your financial goals.


If you’re owed money

You may know about our structured settlement program from our famous, operatic jingle—but did you know that in addition to buying structured settlement payment streams in exchange for lump sums, we also purchase annuity payments, lottery prizes, and casino winnings?


At JG Wentworth, we believe that you should be able to access the money owed to you now, not later, and we have a solution for anyone who wants to receive their payments upfront. If you have a payment stream, we’ll purchase some or all of your future payments for the best price, guaranteed. In return, you’ll receive a lump sum payment when you need it—instead of getting it on someone else’s schedule. We make the process as simple and stress-free as possible for our customers, offering excellent customer service and answering all your questions as we go.


If you owe money

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your debt, we can help. JG Wentworth’s debt relief program allows customers to lower their debt while repaying it fast, with many of our customers graduating from the program in just 2-4 years.


Here’s how it works:  when you call us, you’ll speak with one of our certified debt specialists so we can get an idea of what you owe, what type of debt you have, and what your options are. Together, we create a personalized program to repay your debt and help you set aside money each month into a dedicated savings account. Meanwhile, we negotiate with your creditors on your behalf to lessen the total amount of debt you owe, staying connected with you each time we successfully negotiate a lower amount. We treat our debt relief program like a partnership, offering support to all current and graduated clients.


A name you can trust

At JG Wentworth, we value transparency and remain committed to giving each of our customers a great experience. As a USA Today Most Trusted Brand (2026) and Top Workplace (2024–2026), we continue to put our customers first. Money matters can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help you understand your options and achieve your financial goals.


You know our name—now get to know us! Learn more about our services at jgwentworth.com or give us a call at (866) 930-6480.

Representative Shawn

Representative Shawn
Customer service by Shawn was outstanding. I didn't feel as though I was being rushed into making an immediate decision. Shawn addressed each of my concerns/questions about the process and that I would be in control of how our transaction went, which put me at ease.

I was drowning

I was in a situation that was going to take literally 49 years to get out of, if I just paid the minimum payments. I've been hearing the jg wentworth jingle since I was a kid. I figured I'd they've been around this long, they've gotta be doing something right. Now I'm looking at being debt free again in 42 months, and paying less monthly than my minimum card payments would be. Thank you jg wentworth!

The amount I wrote down was necessary. Colonoscopy

The amount I wrote down was approximately what I figured my yearly expenses was. I hope 🤞 I have it in approximate balance ⚖️ with yours. I hope I did fine considering the medical appointments I had to go to. I do apologize for that but it was something I had to do.
