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.

on schedule
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.

: The payments were delayed before, but now they have caught up and are on time. Search for "ifatt" in for example www.ord.se
