I'm not sure what a "liquidised" company is. If you mean a liquidated (i. e., bankrupted) company, your debt remains and was probably purchased with the other assets of the company by some other business or person.
The new owner of the debt should notify you of the place to send payments. This assumes you have kept your address current with the liquidated creditor. If you cannot receive the notice because you failed to do so, you could find yourself with a big surprise when they do find you.
how can i find out how much money i owe the gas company?
Even if the collection company goes bankrupt, you still owe the bank whatever money you borrowed from them. The bank hires the collection company to get that money, so you still owe them
Then you're still liable for the money you owe the lienholder.
You still owe money.
If the policy was still in force and the insured has died, then yes, the insurance company would owe the death benefit. If the policy was cancelled or surrendered, the company would not owe anything.
If you no longer owe on the car and own it free and clear then it's your choice. You can pick it from the towing company or not. After a period of time, the towing company will place a lien on the vehicle and take ownership. If you still owe money on the car then you have a contractual responsibility to protect the vehicle from liens and you will still be responsible to pay what you owe to the finance company.
how do you find out if the owner still owe a finance company on the car you are buying?
Sell it privately for what you owe on it.
If you owe it to him personally, then no. If you owe it actually to the company, then yes.
It's called the outstanding balance - or more accurately... debt !
Yes, you still owe the money. Yes, if the cashiers check expired the money is still available in that account so all you will need to do is have another cashiers check cut.
If the insurance company owed you money and they attempted to pay that debt with a cheque that was not honoured the the debt is still outstanding. They may also be liable to other charges.
