01 / Orientation
What this page helps you understand
If an independent provider can present an option, the written agreement should identify the amount delivered, charges, payoff method, events that affect repayment, and other conditions.
Approval does not require acceptance. You can ask questions, compare another option, or decide that the cost is not right for your circumstances.
02 / Review lens
Details that may matter
- Net funds actually delivered to you
- Projected payoff at several future dates
- One-time fees and charges that change over time
- How prior advances and liens are treated
- Conditions for an unsuccessful, delayed, or reduced recovery
03 / Get organized
Information worth preparing
- The full agreement rather than a verbal summary
- A list of unclear terms and blank spaces
- Your attorney’s opportunity to review the document
- A comparison using the same amount and dates
04 / Before deciding
Questions to take into the conversation
- When do charges begin?
- Is there a payoff cap or minimum charge?
- Can the agreement be cancelled after signing?
- What document confirms that funds were delivered?
ClaimKind takeawayOnly the signed provider agreement creates the transaction. Read it in full and keep a complete copy.
