Alleged class action suit?

If there is a class action suit against the company that warrants mention in the article, it needs to have been covered in independent reliable sources. The website set up by the attorney representing the class for the suit is not independent and not a sufficient source. —C.Fred (talk) 21:57, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Life Partners (film) → Life Partners
Life Partners → Life Partners, Inc.

– The company is not a clear primary topic for this term. Pageview analysis overwhelmingly favours the film. PC78 (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Good use of natural disambiguation, and the film appears to be the primary topic. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 20:48, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support first and oppose second 2601:541:4305:C70:B120:AFA5:4806:E8C3 (talk) 17:45, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PUFF PIECE

This article contains a number of inaccuracies. The stock is worthless; all the company's assets were placed into two separate trusts by order of the bankruptcy judge, and the company did not resume its business.

And it is not, perhaps, obvious that most (or all) who bought policies from Life Partners were told that the life expectancy of those who were issued the policies being sold was under 36 months. As it turned out, many original policyholders lived so long that those who bought the policies through Life Partners had to pay substantial premiums to keep the policies in force. Some of the original policyholders are still alive after 15 years!

In short, the article reads as if written by representatives of Life Partners, Inc. C. Cerf (talk) 04:09, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
