Claim processing time of more than 3 months

I took travel insurance out through TravelStart when I booked flights to travel abroad. On the way back my bag was damaged by the airline, the wheels broke off in transit. I submitted the claim and all supporting documents on the 30th of May and received my claim reference number. Thereafter I sent follow up emails regularly, but could never get any information back. I phoned early August and was advised to resubmit my documents to Europe Assistance, which i did on the 2nd of August. I was then asked to submit bank statements for verification on the 4th of August, as the payment would be released once verification was complete. This was done and I have still not heard anything back and it is the 30th of August now.

Reviewer Update
I received a phone call from The EA Customer Care Team on the 31st of August to confirm that my payment advise was due to be released on the 1st of September. I received nothing on the 1st and contacted the team in the afternoon. I was told that they have to check with the accounts department and they will phone me first thing on the 4th of September to let me know when the payment will be released. I am however still waiting on feedback. I have really been very patient so far, but getting very frustrated with this situation now. Can someone please let me know what is going on?
