      Been trying for months to collect my deceased Fathers life insurance. They keep asking for more and different things. I had my Lawyer send them everything they asked for and still nothing. **************** is completely useless. I wish could leave less than 1 star rating. I read the other complaints here, I know I am not alone.

      Worst communication ever. I had had a baby March 28, 2025 and as of May 1, 2025 have not received a single payment for my short term disability. I couldnt get my case manager to call me back for the first 3 weeks and when I finally got someone to call me I learned there were issues with a leave I took back in 2022. The past 2 weeks have been spent getting the run around from customer service and no one calling me back again. When I ask to speak to a manager or supervisor I get ignored. This is the worst experience I have ever had. I wish my employer would switch to a different insurance company, MetLife is a joke.

      I have been given the runaround for a month now trying to get my STD claim filed. They tell me they have my documents, then I call to check, and they say they don't. My doctor and I have sent the requested documents several times, only to find out they never requested everything they needed. Now it's a five-day wait, and then another five days after they see they didn't receive what they never requested.

      My 88 year old aunt has paid in a considerable amount of money. We have been working since April 1st to have that money put into her account. Because we still have ZERO money received, she is being foreclosed on next week. She will be in the street. They absolutely do not care about their customers. We have jumped through hoops time and again, notorized and faxed MULTIPLE TIMES requested information, yet !!!steal!!! they refuse to RELEASE HER MONEY!! We have spent hours and hours on the phone wiyh them, and there is always an excuse! If you or any of your relatives have money with them, you better begin now begin trying to get it. They are conniving thieving liars.

      I cannot express how terrible my experience has been with MetLifes customer service. Ive encountered nothing but delays, confusion, and incompetence at every turn.Incompetent and Unhelpful Agents: Ive had to explain my situation to numerous representatives, only to get conflicting answers each time. The lack of knowledge and professionalism is shocking. Each agent seemed to be reading from a script with no real understanding of my issue.This is the most frustrating part. I asked them to email me the proof I needed to show I had paid for my policy, and they told me they couldnt do that! I was completely floored. How is it 2025, and MetLife can't email something that simple?Do yourself a favor and stay away from MetLife. Their customer service is a disaster, and youll spend more time fixing their mistakes than actually being covered.

      Metlife *** is a bunch of *****. They won't pay anything until you return to work. I know why they do it but it's crooked and they ****. They should be shut down and face criminal charges. You do everything they ask just so they can say they didn't receive you documents. I sent them five times before they finally acknowledged. Each time is a 5 day wait for them to receive. Then another 5 days for them to accept or deny. That's a lot of waiting having to send multiple copies. They will delete all your attempts to get them tour info in an attempt to starve you to death. Pathetic company!

      Metlife will endlessly ask for records over and over. They will call your vet asking for the same records that they have already received 100 times over. No matter how many times you submit them. They continue to stall in hopes that you will just give up. Metlife is the worst. Don't waste your time and money.

      We have an *** with them. They do everything in their power to deny *** charges even for things that are clearly medical (i.e. Cleveland Clinic) with receipts to prove it was for a doctors appointment. How do you fight against an insurance company like this?
