You can't. The lender wants what is owed on the car not what it is worth. This is being upside down on the loan.

My son totaled his car the insurance we had on the car was state mimuim and did not cover the car what do we need to do?

I guess in this case you mean you owe more on it than the car was worth. This is unfortunately pretty common. Whatever money you received from your insurance company can be applied to the auto loan but you'll have to pay the balance. Maybe you can renegotiate the balance for a lower interest rate.

How can you refinance a home loan if you owe more than your property is worth?

More than likely if your credit is good you can still refinance a home that is valued at less than you owe. You would have to roll the difference in what it's worth and what you owe into the new loan. This would only be beneficial if the new loan had a much lower interest rate than your current loan. You can consult a mortgage professional for further details on your options regarding the situation.

Why would a bank rather foreclose on a home than refi it?

A bank may prefer to foreclose on a home rather than refinance it because foreclosure allows them to recover the outstanding loan amount more quickly, especially if the borrower is significantly delinquent on payments. Refinancing often involves additional costs and risks, such as potential further defaults or the need to renegotiate terms. Additionally, in a declining housing market, the bank may believe that the value of the property will continue to decrease, making foreclosure a more prudent option. Ultimately, it's a decision based on minimizing financial losses and maximizing asset recovery.
