BEAT: TIAA-CREF Sucks Donkey Balls
Beat: Called up TIAA-CREF to cash out an old retirement account from a job in 2004. Asked about vesting, they told me no problem. This was August 14th. Found out yesterday that I wouldn't be fully vested until late 2009. They went ahead and cashed me out without telling me this, costing me 4 grand. Also, since they've taken 3 [censored] months to get around to figuring out their asses from their elbows, they've cost me another ~$700 in gold appreciation (which is where I'm moving the money into). [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored].

I think with most large companies it's standard 5 years until fully vested. Sounds like you should've skipped the retirement acct. altogether and just purchased gold to begin with back in 2004.

[/ QUOTE ] Not an option, but yeah, that would've been awesome. I worked there for a full year ('03-'04), meaning that I should have been fully vested. However, I found out the university did not apply for my TIAA-CREF account until February '04, meaning that I was subject to the 5 year vestment rules. |
