Can gap insuranace company deny a claim if they did not get one document withing the 90 day time frame?

The gap insurance company is saying that they will not pay my claim because they were missing one document. I sent then the incorrect document and did not know it, and they are saying it is too late now. Is there anything I can do? My car was a total loss fro an accident.

I suppose if would depend on the document and whether or not you should have known that you needed to return it to them.  You should speak to an attorney near you right away who is well versed in insurance law.  Have them check into it for you and find out what the document is that is missing and why they didn't inform you.  You may have to sue them for the coverage.
