I had called my company asking a question gave a scenario using my sister as a example and all of a sudden she was added and they upped my cost and are making it difficult to remove her name, and also has her birthdate wrong so if I added my sister I know I would of gave them her right Birthdate, as she has her own policy of her own.

No, they may not. An insurance policy is a contract: a contract may only be changed or modified by the consent or agreement all parties to it--that is, your agreement is required. You can have them remove her if you never consented and do not have to pay any increases attributable to her. If they won't remove her and return your money (any amounts they billed you for her), contact your state's attorney general's office, who should be able to either help you or direct you to the correct agency to help.
