By paying the same rate over the course of the ploicy, I was promised, the amount applied to the term life insirance polcy would decrease, with the difference invested so that I could build a nest egg for my future and that of my family.
Well, nearly 20 years later, with A.L. Williams having been bought by Primerica, I checked on my "investments". I have nothing with them but a straight term life insurance policy that pays off only if I die.
The representatives knew what I was talking about, but passed me back and forth between insurance and investments. The two are completely separate, they said, leaving me with nothing but a $6000 to $7000 investement in, you guessed it, my demise.
If any of you purchased plans under A.L. Williams back in the mid to late 1980's, you'd better check it out with Primerica. I will be collecting my original materials. If enough of us find that we've been similarly hoodwinked, may be we can band together and do something about it.
Don't take your status with Primerica as a former A.L. Williams customer for granted. I did, and it has come back to bite me. I know that I am not alone in this - check and see for yourself. Then, comment about it on this post until one or more interested attorneys see a class action lawsuit in it!

A satisfied customer for over 10 years.

I am a happy and satisfied customer for over 10 years know. When I bought term life insurance from Primerica, the representative was really professional, and sat down with me and my husband and gave us different options and he tried to find the best for us not the best one for the company, and he explained the difference between whole life insurance and the term insurances. Before I had a insurance with another company that sold whole life insurance but because I requested the term life insurance they sold that to me but they sold the wrong one the annual renewal term which increases every year (bad idea), so I was so happy when Primerica showed me the difference. They let me know it was a straight term insurance and then I invest the difference that I was paying in this other whole life insurance. If I die my beneficiary will get my savings in my investment plus the benefit from my coverage. Something that was not going to happen with a whole life insurance. Primerica is simple and no hidden stuff. I am a happy customer.

I invested in mutual funds in 1988 when I purchased the term policy from AL Williams and by the time my daughter needed university funds, I had well over $5000 saved up (I was investing only $35 per month in '88, which I then increased to $50 per month by '98). That money paid for the first two years of tuition, and I am so glad that I heard of AL Williams.
Sorry that the 'ripoff' complainer didn't understand the terms of his policy, but many of us did and we have reaped the benefits.
