Shotgun Refusal & Basc

[Daveizzy1 0]

Evening Gents,

 

I have been refused a SGC yesterday on the ground of my arrest record which is apparently 38 times between 1996 and 2002.

 

My recent arrest obviously being 15 years ago. I joined BASC earlier this year which was prior to making a shotgun application, So once I was refused I gave them a call and asked what options I had. Gentleman was polite and said "I think we can help you" I sent him the letter form Lancashire constabulary and so on. The next morning I woke up with an email saying 'I have looked at the circumstances of your case. I regret to inform to inform you that our appeals insurance policy contains the following exclusion under the heading of "what we (the insurers) will not cover": "An incident or matter arising before the insured person joined the policyholder (BASC) and which has or which the insured person (member) knew or ought reasonably to have known may give rise to a dispute or legal proceedings by or against the insured person".You were aware in joining BASC in March 2017 that you had made an application in 2016 (wrong dates) and that the result may be a refusal due to your past criminal history.I appreciate this will be a disappointment to you. If you wish to appeal you should approach a local solicitor to assist you.

 

Has anyone else ever encountered this? If so what can i do? They advertised this and that but when it comes down to it, it appears it can be manipulated, thanks for the help guys.
