Making a claim, timespan

vehicle gets nicked, one month later still no news, person buys a new
car. Now 2 months later the insurance company still havent coughed up,
but the stolen car turns up. As a new car has been bought, the person
wants the money, not the car, but the insurance company refuses and says
they get the car back and nothing else.

Is there a timelimit where you can tell them to keep the recovered car
and pay up instead?

 

Probably, but I'll wager it's not 8 weeks. The owner should've asked the
insco pay for a rental car first. That usually elicits some kind of
response.

Dunno, I think this is where you get your magnifying glass out to read
the small print in your policy.

 

When he told his insurance company he was going to buy a new car what
did they say?

When he told his insurance company he was going to rent a car for a
couple of months to wait to see if his original car turned up what did
they say?
