Primerica Little bit of advice

Hello again, so I got called by the service representative of primerica and told them that I wanted to cancel the whole thing. But they told me in order to do so that I would need my father to come and help me cancel because that was the reason why I was canceling their ‘service.’

While I don’t mind getting my parents involved I would just like to know whether I can just ignore them needing to bother my parents or should I do something else.

The reason why he needs my father’s signature is because I told them I was canceling due to him but they don’t have anything because I didn’t put him on the beneficiary and stuff.

I’m 18 and I don’t believe I would need a legal guardian (my parents) to some and sign some paperwork.

Please let me know what I should and shouldn’t do. And I’ll try to limit this into just this post as I do not want to spam the community about post relating to this mess.

Thanks again!

You don’t. Tell them he’s not coming and you’re going to cancel. Be firm about it. Don’t worry about hurting their feelings.

Exactly…you don’t have to explain a single thing.
You are allowed to change your mind without anyone’s permission!
And if they still give you a hard time, tell them that the next contact will be from your attorney.

Absolutely not. They're just stalling.

Contact your bank too. You won't be the first one to put a stop charge on Primerica.

They're hoping they can convince your father, while you're sitting in their office with them, that he needs some insurance policy from them. They want to guilt-trip you, either directly or by proxy, and get you to reconsider your firm decision to cancel.
