The purpose of this blog and the podcasts we do is to inform and educate structured settlement professionals and financial and legal advisors on factoring issues. Our theory is that a better informed advisor is a good thing -- good for our industry, and good for the advisor and his customers. One thing we have avoided here is the kind of name calling you see in other blogs. On rare occasion we have attempted to correct clear error in other's statements, when such error could lead to confusion in the marketplace. However, we leave the down and dirty "gossip" and personal attacks to others who are more adept at that sort of thing.

Recently a purported broker/outside sales person of one of our competitors published an article which called into question our motivations for writing this blog and then blatantly misstated some facts about Settlement Capital from an industry study.  In an effort to correct these errors, I posted a comment directly on that article. However, that comment was quickly removed by the author of the blog. Not exactly fair play, but so be it.  I will neither repeat the offending and erroneous allegations here, nor my response.  However, if any readers of this blog are aware of the issue and would like to see my response, please email me and I will send it to you privately.  If you do not know what I am talking about, and have not seen this other person's blog, consider yourself fortunate.

***Please note:  Due to the large number of requests I have had for my response and for more information, it may take me a few days to get back with everyone.  Please be patient, and I should be able to get back to you by the end of the week.
