Did you invoice them. I've never had a problem with payment as long as I remember to send an invoice.

Hello, I have been doing signings on and off for a few years now. I did a settlement agreement for them on March 4, 2014 and still have not gotten paid. I have sent several emails and have been told that they did not fund the settlement agreement but would submit for payment on several times. The agent that called me was Mario DiMaggio I Assistant Purchasing Manager
Address: 201 King of Prussia Rd, Suite 200, Radnor PA 19087
Phone: (800) 790-4016 x2448 I Fax: 855-278-1655
Will not accept anything from them again.

In my half a dozen dealings with JGW, it appears to me that:
Each agent appears to be on commission and sets their own pay/notpay policy.
After I had a "he did not sign, I make no money, you make no money too" - I put JGW on PayPal in advance status.
It has run about 50/50 on acceptance of MY terms. That's fine with me.

| I have completed 2 for JG Wentworth and was paid for them through a Signing Company, usually at the end of the following month. However let me give you some information that I found out today. If you print the docs, and the client cancels at the last minute, or is a no show, you WILL NOT be paid a print fee, or even a trip fee. I have asked to have my name removed from their contact list. If I'm printing 30 pages, using MY ink, MY time, MY paper, MY equipment, then I deserve to be paid for it!! Nations Direct is who contacts me for the appointments, and I've never had a problem with any other company they contract for. And I do several each month for Nations. |

There's no way I would be at a signing of any type for 4 HOURS unless I was being paid upfront, by the hour.
I've done a lot of structured settlement signings and during the confirmation phone call, in addition to requesting a copy of the borrower's ID and verifying the address we're meeting at, plus the date and time of the appointment, I also ask two very important questions: Have you reviewed the paperwork? Have you spoken with <name of agent> to have your questions and concerns answered?
You should never go to a structured settlement signing without asking those two questions. That way, when you arrive, the borrower is ready to sign. If they are not, then you can reem them for giving you the impression that they were ready for the appointment and saying during the confirmation call that they reviewed the paperwork and spoke to their agent - well, you don't actually reem them, but I think you understand what I mean. |

I've never worked for JG Wentworth but I can tell you that it's not unusual for companies in this business to pay at 30 days or so. You did the job on 9/24 so it's only been two weeks. I have no idea what JG Wentworth's payment terms are, but there are quite a few no-pay reviews about this company on the other forum.

I was hired by JGW on 09/24/2010 to notarize 25 pages for a settlement buyout. I arrived on time, and was only supposed to take 30 minutes. 4 HOURS later, I finally left, what a nightmare.... The client had no clue what was going on, was on the phone with JGW, the contract company kept calling. After I left with signed docs, I reported to the contract company everything that transpired and they said they would increase my fees. Honestly, what a joke, still no check, and I will not do another signing for JGW.
Anyone gets a call to do one should demand to get paid up front. I'm new to this but I should not have to chase down being paid by a company who inconvienenced me for four hours because they couldn't get it together with their client.
Funny how the contract company is so nice until you ask for payment. |

| I recently did a structed settlement signing for them last month. It was easy. I met the client at a local libary it took all on 15 minutes to sign and I had to a fax back but I was paid $100. The fee was paid in less than one week. |

I should have responded some time ago I did finally receive payment from JGW but I called the CEO directly to bare my grievances in no time at all I was issued a check but you know I should have charged them interest??
I will never work for them again.
I need more consistant work is anyone getting at least 4 closings per week it so rare when I do. Thanks |

4/23/10 job for J.G. Wentworth and was paid very quickly. In fact, I sent my invoice in with my PayPal information, due to a mix-up in communication they actually cut me a check AND paid me via my PayPal account. The check arrived within 6 days of the assignment. That kind of payment mix-up is acceptable from any company  The check was promptly returned to them.
I will gladly accept new assignments from them. |

I conducted a settlement signing for J. G. Wentworth on 04-27-10 and was paid by them via PayPal the next day. Fastest turn around for a signing that I have ever had. The pay was more than fair and prompt. Hopefully they have re-structured their pay process.

| The Better Business Bureau helped ease the payment of a 90 day past due due invoice for me after repeated inquiries were ignored. |

 I received payment after I sent them a reminder statement. The woman I dealt with indicated that it was an oversight and paid promptly.

I received a call from JG Wentworth out of Brynmawr, PA back in mid September needing me to travel and meet with a client who was cashing out a settlement. I did a search on another message board and found very mixed reviews - about 50/50. The reviews were a year old and either people loved them or hated them. I went ahead and took the assignment. The man I spoke with, Jaron Pendergast, said that they typically pay when the transaction funds.
I just called because I haven't received payment yet (my invoice says payment is due within 30 days). Jaron's personality changed when I inquired about payment (funny how that happens). It turns out that their transactions can take months to fund, and based on the conversation I just had, I think I'm going to be chasing them for a while because I'm getting the runaround. Yes, I should have asked up-front when the transactions fund, but I FOOLISHLY assumed it would be within a week or so as is the case with most loans.
I noticed that the vast majority of the people who like/love this company are coincidentally the ones who collected up front via overnight check or Paypal. I strongly recommend collecting up front from this company - otherwise you'll be waiting a while......(sigh) another lesson learned the hard way....by the way, I checked on other boards and many people have had payment issues, some of them mentioned Jaron Pendergast by name in their replies. |

I just looked at the J. G. Wentworth site. There is a link to the BBB on their site. All of you who haven't been paid should post your non-pay dissatisfaction there.

What a fool I've been! Why didn't I look here first! Something about this just didn't feel right. I should have listened to my intuition. Guess that I got suckered in by them.

I completed a settlement signing for them in September 2008 and was given the run around by voicemail and excuses for months and still am not paid. I was told since the settlement did not go through, they did not want to pay me. I was also told to go to the client and try to collect. Yeah right. I was not hired by the client. I was hired by JG Wentworth. I would caution anyone thinking of working with this company. As Carmen said, ask for Paypal payment upfront.

got called for a signing for them yesterday. after reading the comments on here, i told them they had to overnight me a check first. i was denied my request, of course. i'm SO glad to have this communication between notaries so we don't get ripped off by companies like J.G. Wentworth. they can afford all those stupid commercials, but can't afford to pay their notaries?? ridiculous.

for them on October 8, 2008 I still have not received payment. I was contacted for the job from Mr. Michael Aiello from Bryn Mawr, Pa. I called him several times he flat out lied to me he told me that when I accepted the job that I was told that I would not be paid until the case for this gentleman went to court as of this date I have not received payment nor have I heard back from JG I was not instructed on this I told him and he kept telling me I was!! He was awful so I called and from the operator transferred to A/P they told me I would receive payment they would cut me a check This made Mr. Aiello very angry! I knew all of this was bull. Did you ever receive payment?
I looked up JG through BBB web site and looked at complaints about them that the number was 40 in the last 36 months and 25 in the last 25 months. Wow it also stated that the Selling Practices had 14 complaints with 14 resolved.
I am not sure who to contact at JG to try to receive my money do you?

I had a positive experience as well. I was paid as soon as I called to tell him the signing was complete. I did have to fax back the packet but I did not mind as it was to an 800 number. I have to say they are #1 in my book for fast pay. I wish more title companies and ss would pay like that. Have a great Friday everyone and Happy Halloween!

You have probably seen this company's ads on TV. A person is receiving periodic payments from an insurance annuity, lawsuit or some other source and wants a lump sum of money instead of payments spread over years. J. G. Wentworth will give the person a lump sum now and Wentworth will receive the future periodic payments.
My experience with Wentworth was they called me to travel 170 miles round trip, on April 29, 2005, to notarize documents for their client. I was told to include my invoice for "notary services" with the notarized documents and I'd paid in a week. It's now August 11, 2005 and Wentworth tells me the court did not approve the payment plan and so Wentworth is not paying me. Wentworth says I should try to collect from their client. |
