Fidelity - 403b fix - how to close - summer savings leeched in fees
A friend is in a fix - seeking to get some expert's thoughts here:
Is there an option to close 403b? who to ask? Should it be the company (Fid in this case) or the benefits team.
unfortunately he worked for a short term in a school summer position and saved 400$ in 403b. did not know that there will be a fee of 70$ charged every year ( ridiculous amount ). No longer doing the job but will be a student another few years.
Fidelity says benefits has to terminate the employee status and only then funds can be taken or account closed.
benefits say they can't terminate until he remains a student, even if not doing the summer job.
The balance now is 330$ :( He's quite upset understandably.
Pretty soon will come 0 if no action taken
What are his options?
Fidelity chat isn't helpful and say cannot close since he is still active in status.
It is a mistake hoping to save, without realizing the fee unfortunately.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
