Does anyone here have experience with filing a FINRA claim? Learned that an elderly family member put their entire life savings into Primerica (scam investment company) and had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past 10 years in what should have been a great market. Much of the lost money is due to numerous load fees, and really ill-advised funds in energy sector. Wondering if there are courses of action this family member can take to try to recuperate some of the lost money.
