Victim of property damage. Sent 2 estimates for 2 different repairs. Their insurance company sends 2 party check for total price but written to homeowner and only one estimate company. Shouldn't check been to home owner only?? Should check be refused?

check for homeowner repairs sent to mortgage and insured. mortgage wants to keep check in escrow. does insured have right to pay contractor instead of mortgage co?

When the repairs are verified as complete the lender will release the funds to the contractor.

Ask your carrier if they can or will stop pay on this draft and reissue to you and a contractor, most can and will

First, read my sig.


What is the contractors bill? That is what you pay, period. You are leaving out a big part of the situation... such as, why is the payment for $10,000 but you are being billed $4500? Is there other work? If so, again... what is this contractors bill and what is he owed?

I don't think your insurer paid you $10,000 when only $4,500 was needed.
Did your insurer pay for some more repairs to be done, which you haven't?

If so, you may be able to keep the extra money but if your insurer finds out, it might deny future claims.
