If you were not At Fault in the accident, you can sue the insurance company for the balance on your loan. If you accepted the payment from the insurance company and signed a waiver from future litigation, you cannot do anything but pay the debt yourself.

My girlfriend canceled my insurance and called the car lot My car was repossessed to get the car back they want to be paid off in full what are my legal rights do I have any options?

If you owed money on the car (which is probably why it was repossessed), you need to pay what they demand. Check the paper you signed when buying the car if you think they are 'demanding' something different than you signed. Your girlfriend was smart to cancel the insurance, since a repossessed car does not need insurance. You cannot sue your girlfriend for calling the car lot, or for cancelling the insurance, because you cannot show DAMAGES to yourself.

Talk with the adjuster and explain the situation and I'm sure they will work something out. They may still have to issue the check to you and the lienholder because you are the person who has the contract with the insurance company.

Can a car be repossessed due to no insurance?

If the car is leased or has a lien on it (meaning you have a loan out on it) it CAN be repossessed for letting the insurance lapse on it.Cars that have liens on them are required to carry full coverage insurance on them by the bank. This is because until you pay off the loan the bank technically owns your car, and they want to protect their investment.If you are unsure if you have a lien on the car, take a look at the title. If there is a lien, it will show on there. If you are thinking, "How will they know?" here is the answer to that. When your insurance coverage lapses (runs out/expires) and is not renewed, the ins. company notifies the DMV of your state. Under most state laws, you are the given an average of 14 days to resume insurance coverage or are required to surrender you license plate(s). If the 14 day average passes and you have not done either, the bank that has the lien on your car is notified (because the sate DMV has those records). The bak will then attempt to call you and rectify the situation. If they are unsuccessful, they have the car repossessed.

Why do insurance not cover marriage counseling?

Insurance does not cover marriage counseling because it is not considered "medically necessary." In order for insurance to cover any counseling services, there must be a mental health diagnosis in place for the counseling / therapy treatment to be considered "medically necessary."
