I just lost my husband a the end of last month. I am having horrible trouble accessing his life insurance funds (totaling nearly $1M) which are in a MetLife Total Control Account (an account similar to a bank account where the funds can be placed). I contacted the Steven Botwick Agency simply to try to get a phone number for MetLife corporate offices in the US, and prefaced my call with the acknowledgement that I knew this agency was not the correct number. I expressed I hoped someone there might be able to direct me to someone who could help. When I politely finished my explanation, the man who answered the phone said "are you finished?" I asked if he really just said that to me. I was in no way rude or discourteous, but was just trying to explain the nature of my situation. His response was, "Yeah, I did." Wow. So I'm a new widow who is having trouble accessing funds that MetLife holds and this person found it appropriate to be unbelievably rude to me. All I can say is, stay far, far away from this agency in particular, and MetLife at large. It are a horrible, poorly run company. Buyer beware. read more
