I was sold a 20 yr term policy that I thought was a whole life insurance because of how it was presented to us by their agent. After 20 yrs of paying the policy, the rate went up unexpectedly to us from $578/mth to $6,850/mth! It is now $7600/mth after just two years & will be $9,000/mth in a few mths & so on.... Evidently I had missed an important conversion date at 75 yrs old. I filed a complaint at the BBB & requested a fair conversion rate. The rate that is given to most people for this type of policy of approx $5,000/mth. I would have converted the policy if I had known. It's a simple transaction. In the complaint I asked for the same rate that everyone else gets & the response was an email outlining the policy guidelines & the conversion date I missed. That's it! There was no concern whatsoever about how the policy was misrepresented to us in the beginning or that we were unaware of a 75 yr old clause to convert it. This seems to be a common complaint so I've decided to let people know about what happened to us online & on social media instead of just quietly paying it. Buyer beware & READ everything! Don't just listen to what the agent is saying to you. Be super careful with them or you could end up like us!
