Connecticut and New Jersey regulators said yesterday that they were starting investigations into the sales tactics used by the Prudential Insurance Company of America, even as 21 Florida policyholders filed lawsuits against the company. Six states in all are now examining allegations that the nation's biggest life insurer engaged in "churning," or deceptively replacing policyholders' coverage at added cost. Prudential, which has 15,000 agents nationwide, said yesterday that it had fired 500 life-insurance agents in the last two years for deceptive sales tactics, including churning. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and Acting Insurance Commissioner William Gilligan said yesterday their inquiry would focus on allegations the insurer misled customers by using the cash value of their existing policies to finance new coverage. New Jersey's Department of Insurance also said it had begun a broad investigation of Prudential's sales tactics that will include churning allegations. Twenty-one policyholders from west and central Florida also filed suits yesterday in state court accusing the insurer of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, Chris Hoyer, a lawyer representing the customers, said. The separate suits charge that more than a dozen Prudential agents in Florida misrepresented policy-replacement costs and other aspects of the coverage to obtain higher commissions.
