A couple have spoken of their upset after becoming 'stranded' in Dubai amid a row over medical bills they say total more than £11,000. Katriona White, 54, fell seriously ill - leaving her unable to walk - after she and her husband Mick, 54, travelled to the United Arab Emirates from India where he had been working as a football coach.
The couple claim they were assured by their travel insurers they were covered and would be reimbursed. They claim they were told later they weren't covered because of a 'technicality'. Barclays insurance bosses said: "Our travel insurance documents and the annual eligibility statements are very clear that all trips must start and end in the UK and last no longer than 31 days."
It means the pair have amassed medical bills totalling more than £11,000. Katriona is unfit to fly home because she has lost the use of her legs, while husband Mick can't travel until he has settled the medical bill. He says a hospital in Dubai has seized his passport until the bill is paid.
The couple's ordeal began shortly after the pair landed in Dubai from India, where Mick had been working as a football coach, on April 20. "After two or three days, she said she wasn't feeling very well when she was in the shower. She said she felt frozen up. All her hands had spasmed up," said Mick.

He said he had been paying £18-a-month into the policy for the previous 12 years without ever previously making a claim.
He said he paid £800 on his credit card to the hospital
