# PRE-PAID FUNERAL PLAN COMPLAINT
Date: 8 October 2037
Parties: Helen Carter and Everrest Funeral Plans Ltd
## 1. Purpose and parties
I complain about pre-paid funeral plan FP-22918 purchased from Everrest Funeral Plans Ltd on 5 October 2035 for my mother, Margaret Carter. The plan promised a direct cremation, transport within 20 miles and a contribution towards a memorial service, for which I paid £3,200 in full.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
When my mother died on 25 September 2037, the provider said the plan covered only £1,000 towards the cremation and no transport outside the provider's chosen area. This differs from the brochure and sales email. Please explain the plan trust or insurance arrangements, the sales information and the reason for the shortfall.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Please preserve the plan, brochure, sales call record, payment history and death-notification file, and provide a final response under your complaints process. I seek delivery of the promised services or an appropriate refund and compensation, subject to the plan terms and evidence. I reserve referral to the Financial Ombudsman Service where available.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
The parties should retain the relevant contract, notice, invoices, records and correspondence, and restrict access to personal or confidential information to those who need it. The stated amounts and dates are fictional worked-example facts and require checking against source records.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
If the issue is not resolved, the parties should identify the appropriate next step, which may include an internal process, mediation, court or regulator. Silence or part performance is not treated as acceptance or waiver.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
This document is a general fictional example, not individual legal advice and not a guarantee of eligibility, liability or outcome. Where necessary, an independent professional should check the facts and current law.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional sample is made on the date above under the law of England and Wales and subject to mandatory protections. It does not exclude any right, liability or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
