Would you believe they charged me back on an AOR for 2 weeks on a policy I never received a dime in commissions for? I was only the AOR so they could give me policy details for the client before we moved him to H1. They wanted me to pay them $38 to be the AOR while the other agent received the full month of commissions. "That's just the way we do it sir"....what a joke.
 
Lost of fun. 2004 through 2005 I hired sub-agents and pretty much ditched it. No one wrote under me past 2006. Not a peep out of Assurant for years. A few months back I noticed my renewals "zero'ing out."

I called commissions and they stated they were charging me back for every policy my sub-agents wrote the resulted in a chargeback from them...yes...from 6 years ago. They pointed out that there was no clause in my contract with an "expiration" date on the liability.

But back to this press release - exactly what does Aetna have to gain here?
