The filing of the Proof of Loss is your formal claim. By not filing the required Proof of Loss you may forfeit your rights. Your claim can either be accepted or rejected. You will see many references in my book that refer to your situation and arm you with argument depending on what reaction your claim gets.

Best of luck,
Tony
