WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House Judiciary Committee says data it has collected shows that BP has paid less than 12 percent of claims submitted by people and businesses arising from the Gulf oil spill.

The committee said in a statement Friday that only $71 million out of an estimated $600 million had been paid as of Tuesday. In addition, the panel said that BP didn't make any payments in the first two weeks following the explosion and oil spill.

Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers said he's concerned that BP "is stiffing too many victims and shortchanging others."

The committee said BP hasn't made a single payment for bodily injury or diminished home property value. BP officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Whats the average time from when the claims were filed through today?

Seems to be a lot of money, 71 million, given the most the delay could be is what? Four to six weeks?

How's that compare to the 9/11 funds handed out?

Uh didn't they have to prove that those receiving 9/11 compensation were actually in or involved in the towers? Since the ones most directly affected were unable to personally testify or submit claims, that might have led to a 'slightly longer' delay.

I'm aware of the 9/11 issues.

I'm just wondering how long its taking for the 'average claim' to be paid by BP.

Right now, it doesn't seem extrodinary given the circumstances. You still have to verify the validity of the claim being made. A month to six weeks doesn't seem very long under these circumstances, given the dollar amounts and given the number of claims which have to be in the tens of thousands and growing each and every day.

I'm not defending BP here, just asking.

Property tax and ownership grants of deeds records are already in place. That should speed things along.

I would think so.

I've seen a few estimates the past 24 to 48 hours. They have an estimated one trillion in oil stockpiled currently. Seems counter productive to make comments from the government (either party) that drives the stock lower.
