How long before pay out

Ok possably the answer to this will have the term string in it but how long should I expect it to take for a clame to be sorted for a stolen landy?

My 2004 90 XS was taken 8 weeks ago, I have have had an interview, handed all my keys paper work ect over and when I phoned today they were waiting for the keys to come back from an examination (what that will tell them I dont know), which should be some time towards the end of next week so I cant see it being this year but at the moment I have no way of getting around and its a mile walk to the closest bus stop and over two miles to a train station if I want to go anywhere and now the weather is getting worse the cycle into work is getting a right pain, not to mention the hassel of getting mum to radio theropy 40ish miles away.

Cheers

Start collecting train/bus/taxi receipts...they will soon pay out..3 months sounds about right. Dont take first offer, get on ebay/pistonheads/autotrader and find a few similar spec to yours. See what average price is. print out and produce to insurance.

Wrote off a Discovery last year and car year before, 3 months to clear on both claims.

Note to self. Do not travel at same time as Mr T.

I thought it was 6 weeks for stolen, i called after 6 weeks and demanded payout, which i got within days.. maybe its changed

My van was stolen the 5th of March and I received my first offer mid November. There is no set time as it's "case by case".

They done the same with my keys. Its to ensure that the ones you have are for your vehicle, just in case you left the keys in when stolen and you've gone and goit a blank/different one to hide it.

It's a painful experience and seems that no one actually wants to help, I ended up writting to the ombudsman complaining that I had noit received the product that I had purchased.

I have since learnt (the hard way) to go for an agreed value and photograph and document everything. I even paid two reputable 4x4 garages to go over and detail my 110 and sent it with the modification list from the insurance.

Phone them everyday for an update mate!!!!

I Hope you have a better experience than I did!!!

I think it was 3-4 months when mine got nicked.
