Bus/Financial - Accounting / accounts + insurance claim
Swedish term or phrase: i fatt med
Is this a typo for something else? If not, can anyone tell me what "i fatt med" means please? Context: brief accounts showing losses, etc. after an accident while awaiting insurance payout.
Försäkringsbolaget var i fatt med utbetalningarna. Detta innebär xxx försening.
TIA

Explanation:
Just a guess, I'm afraid, that it might be a typo for 'ifatt', meaning, as Viachaslau says, to catch up with. But in this context I think you need a more formal term. My guess is that they mean that the insurance company is on schedule with the payments. but just a guess.
