I just recieved a settlement on a homeowners insurance claim . A public adjuster helped me. My mortage holder is refusing to sign off on it stating he thinks that I might "buy shoes with the money" . What are my rights?

Now what reason would they have for that? Behind on payments, missed a payment? There must be some other reason why the won't sign the check over to you.

I am still going to go with what the mortgage holder says and assume you are not current on the loan. That would be the only explanation that would make sense as to why they are holding the check. And to comment on what Lori said, that was some money well spent.

To follow on the discussion - (with made up numbers)

You had a $10,000. loss.
You paid PA 10% or $1,000.
You had a lets say $500 deductible.

You are short $1,500. from the start to complete the repairs. Insert your numbers and you can see why they want to hold money to make sure the repairs are complete. Then again, Trench could be right and you are already behind on your mortgage. If A or B are incorrect assumptions, then it is reason C. I looked at a lot of vacant homes between 2004 and 2006 for a country wide mortgage company that I believe is no longer in business. Each house was such a mess with old damage, new damage and missing items (copper pipes, siding, basically everything including the kitchen sink). These mortgage companies were taking a beating on the damage, let alone people skipping out on their mortgages.
