How long does a car insurance write off payment take?

Hi all,
I accepted a car insurance payout for my car that was written off. I accepted the offer 4 days ago. I haven't received the money yet. How long do these things normally take? My insurance company are not answering the phone.

Depends on the insurer. I should have thought early next week. Did they say whether they would issue a cheque or bank transfer?

They said bank transfer. I accepted the offer but explained that I wasn't happy with the offer but would accept it anyway as I need the money to buy a new car. They said I could accept the payment but they would also file a 'complaint' on my behalf in order for the offer to be reviewed. He said the complaint wouldn't affect the payment going through. Now I'm starting to wonder...

It won't have effected it, these things are just slow.
Given you asked at the weekend it's unlikely to be before Monday.
