Best Answer

A lienholder may purchase what is called Collateral Protection Insurance in the event the debtor fails to provide collision insurance. Remember, the lienholder is not concerned with the liability insurance policy that the state requires. They are only concerned with you maintaining insurance that protects their investment in the vehicle. If you are pulled over by the police, the Collateral Protection Insurance will not be adequate insurance for the polie. The police are looking for you to maintain liability insurance.

How does a lien protect the lien holder on a car?

A lien holder on a car title or car loan just means that person is the full owner of the car. If your car gets totalled or goes into default, the lien holder can retrieve the car from you because they have full ownership of the car. Lien Holders are used for lending purposes. This means the lien holder has no liability responsibility. The registered person on the car is required to have liability coverage on the car according to law and not hold the lien holder liability on the car if the car gets damaged or totaled. Lien Holder means they fully own the vehicle until the loan is paid off.

If the value of the car is more than the lien, the lien gets paid off and the owner gets the remainder.
