I've had a lien holder tell me they require a $500 deductible and I argued with them on it and set my deductible at $1000 like I always do. They never repossessed the car, but that was a chance I was willing to take. I think if that went to court a Judge would see it the same way. The difference for me in payments from a $500 to a $1000 deductible is about 40% per month, so it's significant.
On the other hand, you need to review the contract you signed to determine if there is a provision regarding the deductible. If it's in the contract that you signed then you cannot breach that agreement without consequences.
