You can collect it if you want, because the lienholder is going to charge you for not having insurance for as many months as they can, and the amount of what it will cost to get the vehicle repaired. I say give them the check, you will owe less.

Drivers are required to have insurance. If you wreck your vehicle, the insurance company will pay for it.

It is not the bank's fault that you wrecked the vehicle.

Can a person let a wrecked truck get repossessed without any monetary issues?

That would be a particularly bad plan if you hope to keep a good credit score. The bank would have required you to have enough insurance on the vehicle to cover the replacement. If you didn't, you are financially responsible for every dime that is outstanding on the loan. If the truck is wrecked, the difference between the debt and the value is your responsibility.
