How to get a large balance on credit card and then remove it?

Like your style, how about booking a well deserved luxury holiday for next year, all inclusive cruise for your wonderful wife as a "surprise" for when the baby arrives.

But if she's anything like me she would have to make you cancel it as I don't like boats, ferries or anything on water. So make\sure your travel company would cover for cancellation, would think with it being for next year you should be ok ;);)

Please send the £10000 to me by Western Union to my address here in Nigeria and I will be delighted to deposit this in my high interest bank account and pay you back a few days later with an additional £10000 interest.

Quick update to this story...

In advance of the birth we are planning to move home which would also count as a "lifestyle event". They will not pay out on two overlapping claims so we will have to either try and time things well, or (more likely) postpone making the second claim until the first is complete.

Since reflecting on all the good advice received back in June my current idea is to buy an expensive "engagement ring" which can then be returned when the "proposal is refused", or (if I am too proud to sound like I was rejected) returned because my fiancee was fussy and wanted a different one from another shop

Note to self, do not - repeat DO NOT - lose or damage the ring before it is returned.

I wonder if a rat will be smelled when the same procedure occurs twice within about 3 months...

Goodbye Mr Chips.

Thank you OP, :T I've just read your thread and I'm going to tell the ladies in the wedding forum about it in case any of them find the info useful, I've not heard of cover like that before and getting married everyone wants money off you, I had could max my card many times over!
All the best with the baby too

Contracts of insurance differ from "normal" contracts in that implied into such contracts are continuing duties to act in good faith ("uberrima fides", if you like!). Now the insured "risk" has become a "known event" the OP is attempting to increase the insurer's exposure. Or to put it another way, the OP is attempting to take additional cover in the knowledge of facts that have not been make known to the insurer.

Not saying they won't pay out, but they've got good grounds not to.

(Google "uberrima fides" and "insurance" for more stuff on this.)

It seems a sorry state of affairs when a person is about to become a father, and all they can think about is how they can profit from the birth of their child?

I hope this isn't the case.

MrChips

I appreciate the concern samba but this is really only occupying a small part of my time Hence the almost 2 month gap between postings.

I am familiar with the concept of "utmost good faith" but will check out more details in this area, thanks chattychappy. It will be more trouble than it is worth if the insurer deems me "uninsurable".

And terryw, glad someone shares my taste in good films
