Date: April 23, 2013
Category: Customer Dispute
Allegations: CLAIMANT ALLEGES REPRESENTATIVE MISREPRESENTED AN ANNUITY PRODUCT AND THAT THE ANNUITY PRODUCT WAS UNSUITABLE.
Broker Comment: EACH OF THE ALLEGATIONS MADE BY CLAIMANT IS INCORRECT AND BASED UPON ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTION AND FACTUAL ERRORS. THE ANNUITY AND ITS RIDERS WERE ALL REPRESETED IN THE CONTRACT AND DELIVERY RECIEPT WAS SIGNED BY THE CLAIMANT TWENTY-ONE DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE FREE-LOOK PERIOD. THE REPRESENTATION REFERRED TO IN THE COMPLAINT RELATING TO RATE OF RETURN PERTAINS TO THE RETURNS THE CLAIMANT WAS EARNING FROM REIT INVESTMENTS OWNED BY THE CLAIMANT, NOT TO THE ANNUITY AS SHE ALLEGES. THE ANNUITY FITS HER OBJECTIVES EXACTLY IN THAT IT WILL MEET HER PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF A GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT FOR HER SPECIAL NEEDS SON UPON HER DEATH, AND CONTINUES TO MEET HER SECONDARY OBJECTIVE OF REGULAR INCOME. ALL COSTS AND THE SURRENDER PERIOD OF THE ANNUITY WERE FULLY-DISCLOSED TO THE CLAIMANT AS WELL AS TO CERTAIN OF HER FAMILY MEMBERS. THE CLAIMANT RECEIVED A PROSPECTUS AND ACKNOWLEDGED IN WRITING THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD THE COSTS, INCLUDING SURRENDER CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANNUITY. AGAIN, THE COMPLAINT IS BASED UPON WRONG ASSUMPTIONS AND FACTUAL ERRORS AND THE CLAIMANT CONTINUES TO BENEFIT FROM HER INVESTMENT. IT WOULD BE UNSUITABLE FOR THE CLAIMANT TO NOW SURRENDER HER ANNUITY AND LOOSE THE SIGNIFICANT DEATH AND INCOME BENEFITS THE POLICY PROVIDES.
