My mom used them against my advice and got ripped off. But she knew what she was getting into.
She used then to break a $75,000 annuity to get a lump sum for it. She was so desperate for the cash that she was willing to give JG about $39,000 of the amount as the compounded interest (their "fee") to collect her payments over the following ten years.
So they take over half? That's how they can afford the commercials. Why was she that desperate? Couldn't she get a bank loan using the annuity as security?
