I CURRENTLY OWE 15,000 FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOTALLED. DO THEY GIVE ME A CHECK FOR WHATEVER THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS AND IF THEY DO SO CAN I BAG THE MONEY AND NOT GIVE IT TO MY FINANCE COMPANY SINCE I AM DECLARING BANKRUPTCY AND THE CAR IS IN IT?

If the car is financed, odds are the check will be made out to them. If the check is over what you owe, you will get a check from your insurance company.
If the check from your insurance company is less than what you owe, you will get a call from the finance company.l

Yep they will pay off what you owe the banl first. You will not have the title to the vehicle and they will need this before they even send you a check. Once they see their is a lein holder they have to satisfy what is owed to them first.
It really is the right thing to do. Even if you go for bankrupt you will eventually have to pay this money back. I am almost positive all the bankruptsy laws were changed. I am actually glad they are.

depends on if you have gap coverage or not what the amount will be
also the leinholder on the car gets paid first in a totalled car settlement

As it should be.

No matter who's carrier is paying for the vehicle, they will want a clear title. In that this can only be accomplished by making a payment to the lien holder, this is what will be done.
You owe $15k and want to walk away from that _AND_ pocket $15k of your lien holders money? NICE! Have to wonder why the finances did not work out for you.

I know what everyone means. How can someone even ask a question like this? Smells really bad....

I guess that you'll no longer be allowed to include the vehicle in the bankruptcy file since you'll be required to transfer the title to the insurance company. The car loan will then become payable. And life is right, the insurance company will probably make the check on the finance company's name.
However, the bank may allow you to set up a repayment plan with the insurance check. It may also allow you to purchase a new car and may get a replacement lien on the new one.
