Boca Raton, Fl., September 29, 2005 - Over the past five years, Peachtree Settlement Funding ("Peachtree") has channeled more
than $1.3 million to parents who were awaiting child support payments from former spouses.
These are child support debts that might not have otherwise been paid, were it not for a company policy that requires
liens or judgments to be satisfied when fulfilling a transaction with Peachtree's Structured Settlement Division.
When there is a judgment against a claimant who wants to sell all, or a portion of, their structured settlement to
Peachtree, the company insists that the court ordered judgment be satisfied first.
"It is our internal company-based policy to pay off child support liens. We feel that it is the right thing to do, although
the law imposes no duty on us in this regard", said Deborah Benaim, Director of the Structured Settlement Division at Peachtree.
This policy has had a significant impact on the lives of Peachtree claimants and their families. In cases where an
individual cannot afford to pay child support payments, a transaction with Peachtree may provide the funds to meet
all former financial obligations, and often yields additional funds for other needs. With Peachtree's involvement,
these individuals achieve a feeling of responsibility, accountability and alleviated burdens.
