National Structured Settlements Trade Association

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who provide strength, guidance, and support through every stage of life.

Happy Father's Day from NSSTA.

Maryland didn't just reform its oversight of settlement factoring, it demonstrated what effective reform actually looks like.
In a single year, factoring transactions in the state fell from approximately 1,800 to six after a defined set of judicial and procedural guardrails took effect.

NSSTA's latest blog post breaks down the Maryland model, what made it work, and what other states can do to replicate those results.

Did you know that one state reduced predatory factoring transactions from roughly 1,800 to just six in a single year?

NSSTA and the National Consumers League are pointing to Maryland's consumer protection model as the standard every state should adopt.

NSSTA Executive Director Eric Vaughn and NCL CEO Sally Greenberg discuss what that looks like and what comes next.

It is a clear, practical conversation worth sharing with anyone who cares about consumer protection.

This week’s main story is about the payments some people qualify for when tragedy strikes. That tragedy could be a physical injury, or sometimes it’s the wrongful death of a relative. Then, those people meet another tragedy: factoring companies trying to get their money. And a third: their jingles.
