I just turned 18, and I opened a Roth IRA with my bank. They a 5.75% fee on everything that I invest. Then there's the 0.7% fund management fee annually. I called them 48 hours after I opened it and told them that I wanted to cancel it. I found out that Fidelity.com would not charge this mysterious 5.75% on every investment. So I opened an account with Fidelity and invested some into that account (BTW, fidelity has awesome customer support). My bank called me back today (it's been about a week) and told me they couldn't cancel it. The investment company my bank uses is called American Funds. So my question is: Is there any kind of law that gives me a few days to change my mind and cancel the account?
So far, my search on google has been fruitless. My other question is, would it be right if I filled a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against both my bank and American Funds? I figure, if I can't close the account, I will rollover the funds into my fidelity account so I'm not putting anymore money into their pockets. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Skyman
