BEWARE of Get Going travel insurance

Be careful of this company! They're cheap but if you buy gadget cover. You must have proof, original receipts must be purchased in the UK from a store, not new unwanted gifts being resold, basically I purchased cover for my daughter and chose to go with this company, taking out gadget cover and even excess waiver. Firstly they asked for a receipt as proof of purchase (despite being told the camera in question was a gift purchased from Gumtree) Once a receipt was provided, they said the item is not new and the receipt is not on a letterhead proving purchase In the UK!! A bad review on Trustpilot got a swift reply from somebody, who was very kind. This led to nothing, currently awaiting appeal. Hate to think of these issues if medical assistance had been required. I'm claiming mis-selling, at no point was this issue of proof highlighted . Happy to take our money and let us buy extra cover??
