Dissapointing

I have never had a bad experience like this with Metropolitan. I have been paying the funeral policy for my aunt and the twins for years now. One of the twins passed on the 9th Jan and we buried him already. The worse is that the consultant are not coming back to you. I have been communicating with Morne Jacobs this is the second week now. I am not getting any joy. The customer service is so bad I must say.

I have read over 100 complaints from your customers on this platform that are not happy and I am shocked such a big company with a ridiculous service. Improve yourself otherwise you will loose customers.

Good day

The person who is being helping went on leave today
Automatic reply: *** Morne Jacobs Please be advised I am on leave untill the 7th of February 2020. Please refer all emails to Legacy Funeral Group.
Who is going to deal with this query. She knew all this time she is going on leave.
Do you think if you were a customer this is correct?
I will be waiting for your feedack.

It looks like all responses to your clients are automated that is the reason you never come back to clients. Like this one

Dear Seipati

Thank you for your additional comment posted today.

We cannot post policy-specific or personal details on the site and therefore the acknowledgement of receipt is usually 'generic' on the site.  

We can however assure you it is not automated.  Each post is responded to individually by one of  our dedicated Client Care Assessors. 

Our approach is two-fold:

  • We try to resolve the crux of the complaint as swiftly as possible for the client
  • We analyze the root cause that led up to the complaint and address any discrepancies identified in line with our internal protocols.  However, in line with the Industrial Relations Act, we are not at liberty to divulge the details or outcome of such proceedings.

Once we have acknowledged receipt of the complaint, the Assessor will investigate and take the responses offline, so that we may respond to the specific complaint without any fear of divulging personal or policy information to any unauthorized person.

We trust that the above explanation will provide you with the clarity you need.

Regards

Client Care Team
