The Novation Settlement Solutions YouTube Channel features spotlight interviews of various Novation employees. The videos were published in early 2015,  to solicit people like Cedric Martez Thomas, to do business with Novation, which he did in October 2015

  1. Novation Settlement Solutions  YouTube channel says “we can give our customer’s faster decisions, better service and maximum payouts”.  an outright lie now, given their payout in the Cedric Martez Thomas case that was nowhere near maximum
  2. Evan Kaye down plays “best price” 
  3. Justin Restivo says ” we put our money where our mouth is”   True statement, Novation gorged on Cedric Martez Thomas structured settlement payments like ravenous gluttons
  4. Betty Castellanos says “…not just out to make a buck”        Hmm,  ya think that’s still true Betty Boop? 
Cedric Martez Thomas sold $6,600,000 in future payments to Novation for $1,037,000, when he could have easily received more than double that.  Cedric Martez Thomas could have done more with his “second chance’ had he not done business with Novation, according to credible sources in the structured settlement secondary market.  He could have had his cake and ate it too, by getting the same amount of money as the Novation gluttons paid him, but kept some of his tax free structured settlement from American General Life Insurance Company.

Novation boasts of a 97% transfer approval rating.  That’s evident if one uses their ability to get a judge to approve such an outrageously crappy one off deal for Cedric Thomas as an example.
