How is the service fee paid, are they paid upfront?
Our fees are not charged upfront – instead they are withdrawn from your new settlement account each month. Typically our fees are spread out over a period spanning 18-19 months. The fee is typically broken into a Retainer fee, that is paid out over the first 3 or 4 months, and then a Service fee that is paid out over the following 15 months. All fees are included in the one monthly savings amount that our account executives will quote to you. Keep in mind that the amount of the fee and the time period over which it is charged may change depending on the state you reside in.
