American General Life Insurance Company, a structured settlement annuity issuer, has amended its General Agent's contract to state, in no uncertain terms, its position against Factoring and Secondary Market activities of its appointed general agents.
A copy of the relevant section of the contract was supplied to me today by a third party (see download below).
The new American General Life General Agent's contract states
"General Agent or any subordinate agent under its control, without the prior consent of (redacted) shall not directly or indirectly solicit, sell, service otherwise provide advice concerning factored,factoring or secondary market transactions in which a buyer or third party purchases the rights to receive future payments from a structured settlement annuity in return for a lump sum payment to the seller.
General Agent, or any subordinate agent under its control, will not directly or indirectly engage in any factored or secondary market transactions where a member company of (redacted)Inc. is either a defendant, liability insurer, or as a fixed life annuity issuer".
