Liverpool Lou

I appreciate your acknowledgement that, at least, she was arrested, though, albeit the location may have been misquoted by sources and I don't believe the source I quoted has any less credibilty than yours. By the way in order to be extradited the subject has to be detained and detainment is arrest.

No need for you to worry about anyone else's <deleted> not being together. "The 57-year-old woman was arrested last week by the Royal Thai Police in Chonburi and appeared at a press conference beside Deputy National Police Commissioner Surachate Hakparn who told reporters that she was now in contact with US officials and would be extradited". https://aseannow.com/topic/1286917-thai-woman-faces-federal-charges-for-fleeing-the-united-states-after-michigan-hit-and-run-death/

Yawn... You're right, your going on about non-existent insurance policy "small print" is getting tediously yawn-inducing.

They are both illnesses, correct, and corruption is corruption. Perhaps in "Chuckles" world there is such a thing as "a bit pregnant"?

You should not pretend to be privy to others' experiences. Others claimed "experiences" that are clearly inaccurate when applied to the country as a whole should not be generalised as facts.

I was referring to the nested comment that they always find a way to avoid paying out. Ah, that glaringly incorrect statement.

Call 1333 and ask them.

Yet another poster who knows nothing at all about the successful claims' records of UK insurers. In USofA we call that 'hyperbole' but in UK, I have now learned, it can just be referred to as "I reckon". What, specifically, in my comment are you saying can only be referred to as "I reckon"?

It becomes a matter of degree doesn't it? No, a system is corrupt or it isn't.

You're misinterpreting this somehow: No, I am not misinterpreting the Santander information. Nowhere does it state that it will not close non-UK resident's accounts.

"...there is no limit nor bounds to this country's ignorance, greed, xenophobic loathing, insulting & fleecing when it comes to foreigners". You should have prefaced that comment with "if true" also.

And if they didn't pay as many claims a Thaivisa posters (wrongly) assert they wouldn't make any profit at all because no one would buy the policies and, consequently, there would not be an insurance industry.

They can on Thaivisa!

That has not be shown to be a fact, at this stage.

No such thing as "fine print" in UK insurance policies...unless you can post an example of such, of course.

Excellent sentiments but when you've been on this forum for a bit...

Overall, insurers pay in the region of 90% of claims.

That's correct and the first 72 hours emergency treatment mandate extends to private hospitals also assuming they have ER facilities.

Why? What do you know about the surgeon or the hospital that attended her? Nothing, is my guess.

Yet another poster who knows nothing at all about the successful claims' records of UK insurers.

Yes, they do, deceased persons have to be certified as such by a doctor, and they're found at hospitals. You really think that when ambulances turn up at fatals they leave the bodies in the road?

"...an exclusion written in fine print". That was a lie, UK insurers' policy conditions cannot be shown in "fine print" by law.

They do not put it on the front of their policies but they do state it very clearly and honestly in the normal policy conditions, there is nothing fraudulent about listing policy exemptions with the details of cover. That some people choose not to read what cover they have or deliberately decide to ignore it and take a chance is the problem of those people, not the insurers who are bound by industry guidelines as to how their policies and their conditions are laid out.

You must mean the normal-sized print that is referred to as "policy conditions" or "cover".

"Reduculous" indeed.
