An insurer will not pay and does not need to pay if they believe there is something irregular about a claim, such as if they think it overstated or that someone arranged for the theft or damage. Clearly, there is something here that they find suspicious and they are investigating, as is their right. If you do not cooperate with their investigation, they can refuse to pay your claim. Your recourse then would be to sue the insurer for "breach of contract"--for not paying when, under the facts and terms of the policy, they should. If you can prove in court that there is nothing irregular and they should pay, you can get a court order requiring them ti do so. Of course, during the lawsuit they will be legally able to get the same information they are requesting now, so you may wish to provide it, to see if it will satisfy them and you can avoid a lawsuit.
