After meeting with his advisor Monica, Tom agrees to apply for a $50,000 whole life insurance policy. Monica tells him that the monthly premium will be $40 per month. Monica is advised by underwriting that Tom qualifies for an additional $10,000 critical illness rider, and that the new premium would be $50 per month. Monica advises underwriting that Tom accepts the additional coverage without speaking with him first, because it is such a good deal and great coverage, he won’t mind. When Tom finds out what she has accepted on his behalf, without his knowledge, he is upset and wants to lodge a complaint to someone other than the insurance company and Monica; he wants to speak with an independent third party.
