yes, if your insurance settlement does not satisfy the outstanding loan balance you are still responsible for the remaining balance- you might me able to work w/ them to lower the payments if its a hardship, if you stop paying it will go to collection, then after awhile and depending on the amt outstanding they will either file a lawsuit against you- which can lead to liens on property or wage garnishment- this varies by state, or they will discharge the debt- but beware if they discharge/forgive the debt you will receive a 1099C Cancellation of Debt form, and you must claim the amount as income on your taxes

I am thinking of buying a car from a seller who still has loan payments. How can i be sure i will get the title from him after i pay the finance company?
Go to the bank or finance company and tell them what you are doing. Don't give the seller any money untill you have worked it out with the finance company.
Can you cash a check written to you by your insurance company for a car that was totaled but still has remaining payments on it to a finance company?
Sure you can, but you're still responsible for paying off the loan to the finance company. If the check will cover the pay-off, give it to the finance company. If it doesn't, give it to them, anyway. It'll reduce your debt by that much.
What happens if the car gets stolen and its still on finance?
You will still owe the finance company the balance of your finance note. Hopefully you have full coverage insurance. If you do have full coverage, the Comprehensive portion of your policy will generally pay off the finance company up to the insured limits (usually the remaining market value) of your insured auto.
If the bank repossess your car do you still have to pay your car payments?
NO but why would they repo if you are making payments. You don't still have to continue to make payments, however, if your car is repossessed, normally the finance company will sell the car and you owe any deficiency balance. In other words, let's say you still owe $5000 on your car and the finance company sells the car at auction for $4000. They will eventually contact you and you will owe the $1000 difference.
Uninsured finance vehicle has been stolen Cancelled insurance because car was being repossessed by finance company?
You still have rights to recover the vehicle. The finance company may help you look for it if they're desperate enough to get it back. Even if your car was insured, you would legally have to payback the finance company for the car since you broke a binding finance contract.
Is it illegal to sell a car when your still making payments on finance?
No its perfectly legal and if you are still making payments on it, that increases values.

Then you're screwed. The tow company put a mechanic's lien on your car, then they auctioned it off to recoup their costs. You're still liable for the payments you owe to the finance company.

What happens with car payments when you go to jail?
You still have to pay them. That answer is correct...but a slight explanation: Generally speaking, going to jail does not effect your credit or any loans you may have. If you go to jail, the payments are still due, and if you don't pay, the finance company will eventually repossess the vehicle.

What if car is impounded but all payment are current?
You still need to get the car out of impound. You have a limited time to do this before the impound lot puts a mechanic's lien on that vehicle. Once that happens, they'll be able to take possession of and sell your car, and you'll still be liable for the payments you owe to the finance company. If the finance company gets wind of this, they might repossess the car to avoid losing it over a mechanic's lien.
