Legal Databases Follow-up
November 21, 2019

Due to the overwhelming demand for more information on the legal database & scrapers post sent out 11/19, contact information and steps for proper reporting for the legal databases we used as reference are included below.

The database is provided along with links to their terms of use and contact pages. Keep in mind that the following databases are only those that we are aware of and used for research purposes, it is not exhaustive.

WestLaw Contact - Terms of Use

When contacting WestLaw, you will need to be an existing customer to report a violation; ironically, they're also a big sponsor of NASP (National Association of Settlement Purchasers, the big factoring companies). In all of our attempts, they were the most difficult for us in terms of filing complaints or reporting a violation. Contact their customer service and follow prompts. 
1-800-328-4880.

LexisNexis Contact - Terms of Use

LexisNexis is the easiest to deal with. Call their customer service line,
1-800-543-6862, and request their legal department. You will reach someone who will pass your concern to the powers that be. Give them the message.

Bloomberg Contact - Term of Service

Bloomberg's legal help desk is very straight forward. You give them your complaint and they pass it along. Call
1-888-560-2529. For something in-depth, you can e-mail them at help@bloomberglaw.com.

If you, too, are concerned with the constant harassment that most settlement recipients are subjected to, even when they haven't sold some or all of their structured settlement before, then please contact the above service providers, along with those of your choice, to demand that these service providers enforce their terms of use. Court scraping is harassment. End it.

What Still Needs Clarifying
November 28, 2025
It’s a time to be thankful! We’d like to show our appreciation for everyone out there who, like us, is focused on crafting the best solution to our clients’ needs. Moreover, the season demands we take the time to acknowledge a few things. First, and the hard work NSSTA has done to ensure greater fairness in the factoring process. Work in Georgia and Florida to ensure aggressive poaching has been nullified is commendable and should be the standard everywhere. Likewise, a tip of the hat to Texas, whose personal identifying information (PII) protections guarantees that annuitants don’t get harassed ad nauseum from the moment the ink dries on their structured settlement agreements or when they’ve made the decision to cash something out. We’d also like to thank the work of those who go unrecognized too often: the IPAs who help both us and the courts with guaranteeing that our more vulnerable annuitants get the proper added input and security. It’s not required in all states, but we’re sure to use them as often as we can. The best consultation doesn’t just come from us, and we know plenty of clients need that added layer of protection to feel comfortable. Where some may try to lead annuitants away, knowing full well that the deal is a result of their aggressive telemarketing or clever jingles, we know we can trust you and your referrals. They wouldn’t be doing this unless they needed to. Finally, we give thanks to you. Enjoy the turkey, good company, and inevitable food coma.

“Happy Halloween!”
September 19, 2025
Factoring isn’t the boogeyman and structures are not perfect. The best structured settlements are beautiful, but don’t get attached to them. Life happens, and as such it’s life, not factoring, that is the enemy of a structured settlement. The best laid plans, like the best policies, with the best intentions, can’t s
