Fischer Sounds Warning Note Warns Iowa Against Unlicensed Insurers
Charles R. Fischer state insurance commissioner warned Iowans Saturday against buying insurance from unlicensed firms selling by major radio. He cited increased activity and consumer complaints, noting inter state commerce limits federal interference but urging caution since these companies lack license, solvency checks, or claim payment assurances.
