Last month, Suzanne purchased a life insurance policy from a local agent. The agent told her that the policy would accrue a cash value that she could draw from in her retirement years and that the premium would never increase. After recently meeting with a close friend, who is a retired insurance advisor, she was dismayed to learn that what was sold to her is in fact a term policy with no cash value. If Suzanne wishes to make a formal complaint against the agent, which authority can assist her in doing so?
