Date: December 15, 2011
Category: Financial
Type: Bankruptcy
Disposition: Discharged

Date: August 19, 2004
Category: Customer Dispute
Allegations: CLIENT ALLEGES THE AGENT GUARANTEED HE WOULD EARN 6% INTEREST PER ANNUM DURING THE SALE OF A 2003 ISSUE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT. CLIENT REQUESTED THE RETURN OF HIS ORIGINAL INVESTMENT PLUS 6% INTEREST BUT DID NOT SPECIFY ANY AMOUNT OF DAMAGES.
Settlement Amount: $27,263.40
Broker Comment: I DENY ANY AND ALL ALLEGATIONS, AND MY POSITION REMAINS THAT THE CLIENT HAD FULL KNOWLEDGE HIS CONTRACT WAS AN EQUI-VEST PRODUCT WITHOUT A 6% GMIB VERSUS AN ACCUMULATOR, WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SEP, WITH THE GMIB. IN ADDITION, THE CLIENT MADE A SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTION TO HIS SEP WELL AFTER I LEFT AXA/EQUITABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT AT NO TIME DID I OR ANYBODY TAKE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OVER THE INVESTMENT CHOICES. FOR THE RECORD, I WAS A 5% PARTICIPANT IN THE CASE, WAS NOT THE SERVICE AGENT, NOR DID I DO THE ACTUAL ENROLLMENT AND, AS PREVOIUSLY STATED, WAS NOT THERE WHEN A SUBSEQUENT SEP CONTRIBUTION WAS MADE. EQUITABLE HAS DECIDED ON THEIR OWN TO SETTLE THE CLAIM.
