I had damage to my care from Ike, got a check for damage with my name and the leinholders name on it for $800.00 more than I still owe. Can I deposit it or does the leinholder have to sign off on it first? Whats the law on this, can they make me get it repaired? I would love to just pay the car off, and call it aday. Thanks in advance for your help

Dee you can send the draft to your lein holder and have it applied to your loan, no they cannot make you repair it, but they have to protect your lien holder you can have it applied to the principle only (smart move) or use it as payments (not as smart a move)...remembering however should you suffer another loss/damage in the same area as this damage you won't be paid for that again, since it was not repaired...let us know if you have any other questions or there is any other way we can assist you.

If the check bears just the amount required to pay-off the loan, I'd say that it would be wise for you to make the payment and clear the lien on the car. Lori has suggested the right option.
