Unauthorized automatic deductiion of accident and disability insurance from checking account $15.90/mo. Since 2007

Since April NUFIC has had an automatic withdrawal from my wife's checking account for $15.90 per month for an alleged accident and disability policy. Unfortunately, my wife is from Romania and unsophisticated financially and did not notice or question this deduction until I saw the charge and questioned her Feb. 2011. She had no recollection and no policy and was sure she never gave her checking account # to anyone over the phone. When Bank of America gave me the pnone # of NUFIC, I called and was told by a rep that the entire transaction was over the phone and they would send me an authorization form after which I would be able to listen to the taped conversation between her and the salesman.

This is now in process and I am giving NUFIC the benefit of the doubt until I listen to that tape if it exists or is only a delaying tactic. It is only after seeing 17 diferrent reports of approximately the same scam on usacomplaints.com that I am very dubious of a legitimate transaction having taken place, and thus prompted to file this complaint. If I am wrong I will file a subsequent report as to the good faith of NUFIC, but as of now I am reasonably sure that she was a similar victim as your many other clients. Right now I can only admit that my wife was very negligent in not looking carefully at her monthly bank statement. This is a good warning to all, especially the elderly or unsophistaced to take the time to look at every deduction every month, the failure to do so being the omission the scam artists are counting on.
