In order to promptly resolve your GAP claim, it is imperative that we be provided with all of the following documentation. Failure to submit legible copies of the requested documents may significantly delay processing of your claim. Moreover, please be advised that no payment for a payable loss will be made by the underwriter if all documentation necessary to process the claim is not submitted to the administrator within the specified time frame listed on your individual GAP Addendum.
