On April 30th, the Wheatley-Androsoff family was out of the province, dealing with the death of a parent when their northeast Calgary property burned to the ground.
They lost two dogs, all their possessions and a home business in the fire.
“It was quite traumatic. It was a long drive home,” described Jason Wheatley.
Now they say the insurance company is telling them they won’t be covered for their losses because the home business was not disclosed.
“It’s just really an honest mistake. And because of that we have a home that is not livable … I can’t make income because I don’t have my business,” said Jenny Androsoff. “We have nothing.”
Sarah Offin explores what the homeowner calls a “loophole” in insurance policies.
