Structured Settlement Exchange is a misleading term historically used by certain buyers and sellers in stuctured settlement receivables. Why is there inadequate or no regulation concerning who can legally advise annuitants concerning the disposition of structured settlement payment rights, who can legally advise investors about the purchase of structured settlement payment rights, which are also known as tructured settlement receivables. What is acceptable business conduct and what is prohibited?
