Just got home to find the house has been burgled. I think I dropped my keys outside earlier this afternoon (and feel like a right idiot!) and that's how they got in. I'm a little worried that the insurance company won't pay out on a claim like this does anyone know?


Can't find anything in the policy document and the offices are closed at the weekend.

Be careful & get some independent advice , we had a camera stolen, my god it was like the spanish inquisition,interviews on the phone bla bla....and the police knew the guy "wot dunn it"


Still they paid out (in vouchers) quite quickly


Good luck though



W**F

Have you reported the burglary to the police? You will need to do this and they will give you a crime reference number which you will need to provide to your insurers. Did you tell the police you lost your keys?


For the insurers to reject the claim this situaton would need to be excluded in the policy wording. If you cant find an exclusion that covers this, you should be covered (provided of course theft is covered).


Stick with the truth, insurers are not stupid and are particularly vigilant at the moment what with the economic situation.

Insurance Industry is legalised theft.


You are usually only insured for things that can't happen.:))


Worked with L And G,Pru, Zurich, Royal Sun Allon, Commercial Union, Norwich Union, Pearl and various others in the 1970's..


If they can wriggle out of something they will find all the small print imaginable to do so.


Not a fan...B)

easy - just say that while you were at the park you think someone must have stolen your keys and wallet from you bag. You only noticed hours later when you a. could not find your car keys or B. got home and found yourself unable to get in due to lost keys, got hold of your spare set from your friend and let yourself in and Bang...house robbed, say you had two purses one with credit cards etc which they did not get and the other with library cards, gynm stuff etc, one had home address on.
Hmm, they reckon they can trace anything bought from Currys over the last ten years. If that's true then I'm a monkey's uncle. What if you pay cash? I am not a good liar. I have embellished slightly but no more. Was thinking about the laptop but couldn't bring myself to say it and I think it'll look very dubious now if I call back and add it!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
