If a senior is coerced into putting their IRA CD into an agressive mutual fund, is there any recourse?
My 69 yr old mother went into a bank inquiring about a higher interest rate CD for her IRA and walked out (unknowingly) with an aggressive mutual fund instead. Her english is not the greatest but she expressed interest only in a CD. When I called the bank and spoke to the gentlemen who helped my mother, he said she asked for an “aggressive investment” (2 words that are not in her vocabulary and I explained that to him and he subsequently changed the subject). I explained that this was her life savings (she also told him this as well) and now it was not FDIC insured. He said that it was in fact still insured by SIPC (but found out later that doesn’t cover loss in value) so quite different than FDIC. After she complained to him, he put her mutual fund in a very conservative fund (earning less than her original CD) and charged her fees for doing so.
They said they can’t put back her CD without charging larger fees. Who can we complain to? She just wants her FDIC insured CD back.
The first person to see is the bank manager. That should take care of it because the manager has the ability to remove all fees.
Should that not work take it up with your state Department of Consumer Affairs.
Don’t quit, you’ve got them nailed.
