      I found a potential finance job with Primerica and set up a virtual interview on December 18, 2024. That same day, I paid their required $25 Primerica first month subscription (POL) and $49 independent business application (IBA) in order to proceed with the job. The following day I received a lot more information regarding job duties/responsibilities that was not divulged to me during the interview. I quickly put a stop to the job proceedings and requested a refund that same day, December 19, 2024. So far, *** received $44 out of the $74 that I paid. Im seeking the non-refundable $30 that I paid (the interviewer did not tell me it was non-refundable). Im led to think this job is a scam as I did not use any of their company resources and was not provided with the proper tools or knowledge before making the payment. Furthermore, it appears the BBB complaints are a common occurrence with Primerica as Im not the only person that was deceived by their business model.

      Consumer: ******** *********

      Dear Ms. *************** am writing in response to the complaint that ******** ********* filed with the BBB on December 27, 2024.  Primerica is a corporate general agent that markets financial products, including life insurance, through independent contractor sales representatives.  Recruits,such as Ms. ********** submit an Independent Business Application (IBA) to apply to become Primerica independent contractor sales representatives, not employees and pay the one-time $49 IBA fee. Once recruits are properly licensed, they receive commissions, not salary.

      We have researched Ms. ********** complaint and have determined that on or about December 17, 2024, we received her *** that authorized payment of the one-time $49 IBA fee and the $25 monthly Primerica On Line (POL)fee.  The *** provides that recruits who have not attended pre-licensing class are eligible for a refund of up to $19 ($49 less a $30 non-refundable processing fee.). Our records indicate that Ms. ********* contacted Primerica on December 19, 2024, and requested a refund.  On the same day, Primerica issued a refund of $19 for Ms. ********** IBA fee and $25 for her POL fees.  As a courtesy, we will issue a refund of the $30 non-refundable fee, back to the account on file.  We would ask that Ms. ********* allows at least three business days for processing.

      We take all allegations of the misrepresentation of the Primerica Opportunity very seriously. We will further investigate Ms. ********** claims.

      We hope that we have adequately addressed this matter.  If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.

SHE PRAYS ON BROKE COLLEGE STUDENTS! I NEED MY REFUND AS THAT WAS MY LAST AMOUNT OF MONEY UNTIL THE FIRST OF THE YEAR!!!!! SHE WAS ALWAYS IN MY PHONE ASKING TO MEET WITH ME.

      Hi my name is *********** ******, My complaint is with primerica customer service representatives ******* and *******. Who stated he was a supervisor on October 15, 2024. I verified all the information that was needed only to get assistance to logged to view my accounts. This ended the worse customer service, I received from both. ******* we refused to address me by name only to say madam. Stated she felted that was ok to say. I was placed on hold approximately 15 to 20 minutes, because I requested to speak with her supervisor, only to say their were no supervisors available, it would have to be called back. I'm still being called madam. This called ended up being almost 1 hour, just to get on line assistance. I'm extremely disappointed with primerica customer service I'm receiving. If the calls can be reviewed. I understand the protocol and the security protection for benefits of the customer. Not to be treated unfairly. And to this point .I would appreciate a call back. I'm refused to call back customer until my complaint can be addressed.

      $19,279.49 total was erroneously disbursed into my checking account from my **** *** by Primerica employee on 11/11/24. I attempted to undo this change while still on the phone with the employee and I was told it couldn't be undone and that I had to talk to someone else. After multiple phone calls, a reversal was supposedly in process within ***** hrs. On 11/1224, $19,165.20 was deposited into my checking account. Another multiple phone calls and I was again assured things would be undone in ***** hrs. On 11/12/24 at 11:13am, I was contacted by an employee named ******* at ************** and was assured things were in process to reverse. As of 11/13/24 there were no changes so 2 voicemails were left for ******* for status. On 11/14/24 I called for ******* again and left a voicemail with no response. I also placed another call to Primerica and spoke with someone who again assured me things were in process. On 11/15/24, the remainder of the balance of $114.29 was deposited into my checking account, indicating to me that no action is being taken to rectify the situation. Again, a phone call and voicemail was left for *******. I was also charged 2 erroneous transactions of $30 for an early termination fee as well as $25 for a custodian fee. This money being tied up on account of ********************** has caused undue hardship and distress with zero consideration for a customer of nearly 20 years. I would like the transaction 100% reversed and my retirement re-invested where it was, including all expenses and fees, ****.

      My mother passed away in April 2023, leaving my minor child as a beneficiary on several retirement accounts. She had invested her retirement funds with a financial advisor from Primerica, ****** ********. When their financial relationship began, ****** was a part-time advisor and a full-time hospital employee. By the time of my mother's passing, he had become legally blind and is unable to see. This is important to note because he has been unable to assist me with the necessary tasks to comply with my court order. I need basic documents such as financial statements to present my daughters current account balance to the court, but he has been unable to provide that help. As I am not the executor of the estate, I have encountered challenges when I contact the financial institutions. They inform me, We can only provide this information to the executor or the financial advisor on record. There was an instance where a company had a decision regarding a request I submitted, and ****** possessed that information for over six months without sharing it with me. I have submitted my daughters beneficiary claim forms, but I was informed that the forms were not signed by the conservator and lacked a bank medallion, both of which are erroneous claims. I called for clarification, but after over 30 minutes on hold, the call was disconnected. When I called back, I was again placed on hold and subsequently hung up on. In contrast, I successfully received my portion of the Primerica annuity account without any issues. My daughters forms were reviewed by both her financial advisor and me, yet Primerica insists that they were improperly completed. I have called twice seeking clarity on what is missing, but I keep getting disconnected. The lack of customer service assistance has made this process incredibly frustrating. How should I proceed without the necessary support?

      I am rejecting this response because:
      On Wednesday, November 27th, I received a call from ****** ****** in the **************** at PFS Financial (Primerica). She requested that I email her some verifying documents. Before we concluded our conversation, ****** informed me that she would return to work the following week after the holiday and would follow up with me then. I promptly sent the email within an hour of our discussion. After her return, in two subsequent conversations, ****** sent me a secure email containing a page from the beneficiary claims package that required my daughter's Social Security number. I completed the form according to her emailed instructions and returned it within 45 minutes. However, the next day, ****** called to inform me that she had not received my email. I explained that I had sent it and offered to resend it. She reassured me that she could reach out to her IT department to retrieve the email, which she successfully did. On Monday, December 9th, I received an urgent *** delivery from ******. Inside was a two-page letter detailing her findings, but no check was included. The letter stated that I should expect a check within the next 10 business days. Given my lack of confidence in this company, I will not consider this issue resolved until I have received my daughter's beneficiary check.

      Definitely deceived by the initial interview and that this company doesn't truly help their employees but makes money off of them. I have asked for a refund numerous times. I received the POL for $25, but they refuse to respond to me regarding the *** refund for $99. I need help reaching out to someone that can facilitate my refund ASAP!I didn't attend any classes and refuse to move forward with this "company."

      Date of initial transaction 08/27/2024 Date of first refund 10/15/2024 Paid two payments of $25 and $99 for background check and other required programs for agent training for Primerica on 08/27/24 Requested to withdraw from the agent training 09/04/24 as it was not the right position for me Requested refund information from ****** ***** 09/04/24 via phone call Requested refund information from ****** ***** 09/23/24 after waiting for a few weeks after our phone call and finally received the info via text message Sent refund request to provided email on 10/08/24 Sent second request for refund about a week later on 10/13/24 and believe only received response after threatening to file a complaint with BBB Received email about refund 10/15/24 from **** ***** Received refund for $69 later day 10/15/24 The resolution I am seeking now is to be refunded for the $25 charge along with the $30 processing fee they claim is necessary. I gave the business substantial time to refund me the money I spent for the course and believe I deserve a full refund as I never attended course training or used company resources for the agent training. I would have been okay with the initial $30 fee, but now feel I have been scammed out of the additional $25 as I was never told that this was non-refundable. I spoke with ****** ********* via phone call and was told I would be provided with the refund information shortly on September 4th and reached out and on the 23rd after not hearing anything back. It has been continuous lies and sketchy behavior by this company regarding potential employment. If I am not refunded the $55 I will be filing a formal complaint with BBB and will refuse to have it removed.

      Consumer: ***** *******

      Dear Ms. *************** am writing in response to the complaint that ***** ******* filed with the BBB on October 21, 2024.  Primerica is a corporate general agent that markets financial products, including life insurance,through independent contractor sales representatives.  Recruits, such as *********** submit an Independent Business Application (IBA) to apply to become Primerica independent contractor sales representatives, not employees and pay the one-time $99 IBA fee.  Once recruits are properly licensed, they receive commissions, not salary.

      We have researched Mr. ******** complaint and have determined that on or about August 26, 2024, we received his *** that authorized payment of the one-time $99 *** fee and the $25 monthly Primerica On Line (POL) fee.  The *** provides that recruits who have not attended pre-licensing class are eligible for a refund of up to $69 ($99 less a $30 non-refundable processing fee.).  Our records indicate that Mr. ******* contacted Primerica prior to filing his complaint with the BBB.  On October *******, Mr. ******* requested a refund for his IBA fee.  On the same day, Primerica issued a refund of $69 for his IBA fee.  As a courtesy, we have issued a refund of the $30 non-refundable fee along with a refund of the $25 POL fee, back to the account on file. 

      We hope that we have adequately addressed this matter.  If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.

      Sincerely,

      ****** M. ******
