Extemly long claim process

Placed a claim on my vehicle that was in an accident, I recieved constant calls to provide documents and information for the claim, I provided all required/requested information on the 5th of August, it is now the 31st of August and I still have not had this resolved. I have had to constantly follow up with the company as there has been little communication from their side. I have had to follow up each week since the claim was made as there would be no communication for over a week at a time unless I specifically called the company to get feedback. I called today as I have had no feedback and I have been told the claim has been finalized but is still waiting on a decision, they are not able to specify when the decision will be made.

Reviewer Update
All Information requested was provided over a month and a half ago, I am still waiting on a resolution on this claim. I will be contacting the ombudsman and a legal consultant to explore my options as this is taking far too long.
