\"whenWhen the claim is settled and the only thing that\u2019s left is for the cheque to be received, cashed, and spent, a lot of people get anxious<\/strong> and want to know how long it will take for the cheque to get from the insurers and in to their hands<\/strong>. The problem is that it can be hard to say.<\/p>\n

We normally put insurers or solicitors to a deadline of around 14 \u2013 21 days<\/strong> to get the cheque to us from the day they confirm the settlement amount, but all sorts of things can go wrong. The cheque itself may not be too easy to track.<\/p>\n

It will normally have to be raised by the insurers or whoever is dealing with matters on the opponent\u2019s side, sent out to your solicitors, and then sent to you. How long it takes the accounts department for the other side to raise a cheque is anyone\u2019s guess. How long it takes the royal mail to get it to us and then for us to get it to you is again, difficult to predict. Second class doesn\u2019t always get to its destination in time, and first class doesn\u2019t always mean next day delivery.
\n<\/p>\n

It would be great if we could put tracking chips in to cheques so we could tell you exactly where your cheque is. But sadly, it\u2019s not feasible; at least not in today\u2019s modern day. In the future, you never know!<\/p>\n

So when you call a solicitor and ask \u201cwhere is my settlement cheque<\/em>\u201d we may not be able to tell you. If it\u2019s in the office, then we should be able to tell you. If it\u2019s not, we can never guarantee where it is.<\/p>\n

We will of course chase the other side for progress<\/strong>, but it\u2019s always best to be a little patient. Don\u2019t worry; you\u2019ll get the cheque! Just don\u2019t go spending the money before its actually arrived in your hands…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
