      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On April 8, 2023 I rolled over my 401k into an Midland National ******* **** I was not made aware that there would be a graduated surrender charge if I decided to withdraw my money from the *** on January 22, 2024 and Midland National charged me a 9.5 percent surrender fee. The initial amount of the 401 transfer from Fidelity to Midland National was $71,456.11 and at the time of surrender the balance in my *** ******* was $71,456.11. Midland national charged me 9.5% or $6788.33 for basically doing nothing for the 8 months they were in possession of my funds from Fidelity. If I had known that the surrender fees were this high, I would not have rolled them over to Midland National. I am also not sure why there was no increase in value during that time period? In any event, I would like to recover this surrender charge of $6788.33 without having to hire an attorney. I have attached two documents showing the Fidelity roll over from my 401K and the Midland National Surrender Charges.

      Terrible. Dont work with this company. I have a 403B that needs to transfer out. It was a variable rate and they dropped my rate down and wont raise it. Ive been trying over a month to get my money transferred to another company and they are refusing to release it. When you call them They put you on hold indefinitely and keep giving a message, your **** time is longer than 20 minutes. This message repeats over and over. I am totally disgusted, and will never do business with them again. Ive been calling for days, no luck getting through.
