Q: Is This A Loan?
No, settlement funding is not a loan. It is actually an advance on the future recovery of proceeds in your case. Unlike a loan, if you lose your case you owe us nothing.

Q: Does it matter that I have bad credit?
No. We do not check your credit when considering where or not to provide lawsuit funding. Our decision is based solely on the merits and value of your case.
