It is somewhat of a sad day when the only recourse an agent has is to sue for his rights. I was put in that position by a company over twenty years ago and I also won in court.( The carrier asked for an out of court settlement with a Gag order, but I refused the Gag Order.) In an industry where everything is based on a relationship it seems that the carriers are not playing with a full deck as more and more of them are trying to go direct sales over the internet and compete with thier own agents who are left with a disadvantaged price with the customer. It would be a whole lot nicer world if everyone just remembered that we all do better when we work together for the better good of our customers. Are there any companies out there anymore that believe in that principle? I hope so.....
