i too am a former employee of the company. they did the same mess to me too. i have come up with a settlement with the regional manager i was with, Keith Cooper. Keith is a great guy and i have nothing against him. but anyway, he sent me a bill for the hotel stay and all that. i made an agreement to pay X ammount each month just so i can aviod collections that will ruin my good credit score. i am engaged and hoping to get into a house as soon as we get married and i don't want a collections of only $650 or so to ruin my chances of getting into a home my future family needs. on a lighter note, i do believe they have great policies that help families in their time of need. i do want a policy for my family one of these days. i'm just not fond of their advertising methods and sales methods. i did not like the door to door sales. many cities have ordinances against anyone going door to door selling anything as they are considered solicitors. i talked with Keith a few times over the phone during the month i worked selling policies and tried to assure me i was not a solicitor. i kind of felt bad for the home owners because i knew i would be a nuisance to most people. and since Family Heritage does not do any advertising at all, it makes the agents' job a lot tougher. most companies try to do everything they can to make a sales agent's job a little easier so they don't litterally get the door slammed their face which was the case 90% of the time
