Calls worth what - a tenner? New car is irrelvent - they were insuring your old one not warranting your future mobility.

interest of the money that he should have had 10 month ago? could have invested it over that time period. It's clutching at straws abit though!

You want to complain to GISC and/or FSA who now regulate insurance business. In your terms and conditions for the insurance (policy booklet) there should be information on the complaints procedure and how to escalate your complaint. Providing that your claim is not excluded by the terms of the insurance, then they have no reason to delay settling up.
