This is really not an insurance question, rather a legal question. Can your lien holder reposes your vehicle is you fail to maintain it as collateral. You'd need to read the terms of your contract with the lien holder. My guess is that they could reposes the vehicle under this situation.

That's normally the case, isn't it? The loan company repossesses the totaled vehicle while the driver has to pay off the remaining portion of the loan. I'm going to be asking a very stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyways: Shouldn't the loan company deduct the salvage value of the totaled vehicle from the remaining loan amount which the client needs to pay off?
