by Structured Settlement Watchdog
NLRBFCU.org is a completely unreliable source of information about structured settlements
NLRBFCU.org epic fail defines structured settlement purchasers/ brokers as
"they can arrange for a structured settlement annuity to be setup and therefore paid to the claimant who was injured. A judge or jury gives the settled amount out of court or the award to the defendant. These are also referred to as structured settlement companies or structured settlements brokers"
Why NLRBFCU.org Gets a flaming grade of F on its explanation of structured settlement purchasers/brokers
- A structured settlement purchaser does not set up a structured settlement.
- A structured settlement annuity is not "therefore paid to the claimant". Sometimes payments are paid to a trust, such as a special needs trust or to a plaintiff or to plaintiff or claimant's distributees.
- A judge or jury does not give the settled amount to the defendant
- A judge or jury does not give an award to the defendant
- A judge or jury does not give a settled amount out of court to the defendant.
- A claimant is a term primarily used if a claim has been filed. If a lawsuit has been filed the relevant term is "plaintiff".
Value Proposition of NLRBFCU.Org So Far
- Holds Itself Out As Recommended in Meta Tags Which Affect Search Results. It seems to be recommended by itself or a personal that does not exist.
- Holds Out a Person Who Appears to Not Exist as A Reviewer. Credentials do not check out
- Changed its address from Washington DC to Savannah one week after the structured settlement watchdog exposed the fraud
- Changed the company name from one bogus insinuated affiliation to another after the structured settlement watchdog exposed the fraud.
Laura Bushnell Update
"Laura Bushnell" , who is held out as Editor in Chief for NLRBFCU and based in Boston. NLRBFCU also states that "she held senior VP level positions in corporate finance and consumer financial planning firms. A seasoned, enthusiastic financial manager with over 20 years of experience in corporate finance, annuities, structured settlements, and financial planning".
- The Charles River Rotary Club has officially debunked the bizarre claim that a supposed Laura Bushnell was a member, leaving the fraudulent assertion on NLRB FCU spinning like a rotary phone.
- You’d think someone with those supposed credentials would leave a crumb trail on the Internet. But nope, no LinkedIn profile, no articles, no mentions—just radio silence. And as for that image on the NLRBFCU website? It’s like they plucked it from an alternate dimension where Laura Bushnell is a secret agent.
- Strangely, the only mention of Laura Bushnell is in a supposed testimonial for an anonymously registered site called Themez WP, which claims to create WordPress themes. At the time of publication, the Themez WP site’s "Contact Us" page boldly declares "Coming Soon," yet it's somehow overflowing with glowing testimonials. How does that even work? How would anyone know who they are? And more importantly, how would anyone leave a testimonial for a website that's barely there?
