    Default No Consumer Rights if you live in Westminster

    Recently I took out an insurance policy for repairs and replacements to my satellite dish. The first time I needed to make a claim, the insurance company decided to cancel it because the repair person could not find anywhere legal to park near where I live.

    Countless times I have had visits by tradesmen (for example plumbers or engineers) I had booked cancelled or postponed for the same reason.

    I do not drive and see little reason to drive if you live in central London. However I can see why tradesmen would need a car to carry their equipment and why they would not want to have to carry it for a long distance.

    Do I have a case against the satellite dish insurance company or against my council or both? Nothing in the insurance contract mentioned the right to cancel the contract because of parking problems.

    I think they're extracting the urine. I live in westminster and whilst I'm not exactly happy with the parking situation, it is legal for a tradesman to turn up outside your house on a single yellow or residents bay, unload and then go and park up in a proper metered bay.

    Loading and Unloading is allowed for 20 minutes as long as it's continuous.

    If the name of the claim is blue and underlined, click it to see how I did it.
