Rejected petition To stop wedding insurance companies from rejecting claims made due to Covid-19

We want Parliament to intervene and either make the insurance companies pay to make sure people aren't in worse financial situations or provide support for people affected by insurance companies refusing to pay out on their wedding insurance claim.

More details

Me and my partner were due to get married. Due to Covid-19 we were unable to. We went to our insurer and put a claim in to get our money back. We were then told by the insurance company that our claim was rejected as they do not cover for government act. However, in their terms and conditions they said that they do cover for infectious diseases. Furthermore, they have changed their policies and terms and conditions several times to avoid paying out.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We're sorry to hear about your wedding. Unfortunately the refunds are the responsibility of the suppliers and their insurance companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
