Do I have to fix my car?

by Mitzi

I was involved in a minor accident and received a payment from the other person's insurance company. I am currently making payments on my car, so my name and the bank's name are on the check. Can I choose to not have my car fixed and just keep the money?


Answer:


Probably no. The bank will want the money. They will apply it to your bank loan. Either you go this route, or you can have the bank forward payment to a repair facility only.
The want will want to make sure their collateral is secured (the car is in good working condition).

The insurance company has a clause in all insurance policies that protect lien holders. Your policy has that clause in it ant this is the reason why the insurance company must protect the lien holder.
