Torturous funeral cover claim

Shocking service from Metropolitan. Quite ridiculous that one has to deal with this after death. I was given complicated forms to fill out last week and after the third call for clarity was provided with a different form to fill out and email. That was Thursday. I find out today (Monday) after a call that they couldn't open some of the documents. Also, I find out the documents they were able to open were mixed up with someone else's claim. A simple email response to say received or a problem with one of the documents would have been helpful and easy to do. You take out funeral cover for peace of mind, not torment.

Reviewer Update
I stand corrected. After my bitter complaint, a representative called to apologise and inform me that the matter was escalated. She said she'd call to let me know of the outcome, instead, the payout just landed in my account. What a relief! Thank you Metropolitan Life. However, I shouldn't have to fight like this. Think of the next person who doesn't have email, the means to make repeated phone calls or travel back & forth at will when things go wrong
