I agree, but the way the OP said it was that the agent made a definitive statement that they could not get a refund. That is not correct because the agent cannot decide on the refund. It sounds like the agent may have been bullying the OP into going through with a sale that they didn't want. I'm not an expert on elder abuse, but it could be considered a crime, especially since the agent knows that the OP does not have their own agent to explain their options.
