It depends on why you don't have the title. If you don't have it because it is financed then yes. The insurance company will do the work for you of getting the title released from the bank. If you don't have it because you don't own the vehicle then no the company will not pay you. Legally they cannot pay you for a vehicle that you don't own just like you cannot insurance a vehicle you don't own. They also cannot pay the true owner because that person does not have a legal contract of insurance with the company. No one gets paid.

Do I need a salvage title if the Ins. Co. wrote off the car as a total loss and paid me and I kept the car?

Typically, when an insurance co. pays you for a totaled car you surrender the car and the title to them so it's weird that you still have the car at all! Once you surrender the car to the insurance co. they report it as totaled and usually auction the car off to recoup some of their money. Your situation is odd.


What argument can be used when an insurance co claims a totaled car is salvage and deducts from the payment but the title doesn't say it is salvage?

Your question is unclear. Did the insurance company declaire the car that was insured was a total loss. After that they would pay you for the entire value of the vehicle and keep the car since they paid you for it. The insurance company can then sell the damaged vehicle at an auction and make up for some of the loss or they can let the insured keep it and deduct the value from the claim settlement. I am an insurance agent but not a claims adjuster. Your questions is indeed unclear but I am assuming your car got totaled and they paid you less, as though it was a totaled vehicle to start with. They might know something you don't. If you purchased the car in the last 18 months from a dealer or person who gave you a clean title, the car may have in fact already been totaled but they decided to not file a claim and instead fixed it themselves at a cheaper cost and passed the car (and clean title) on to you. Meanwhile, the insurance company might have totaled the car and reported it as such. Or, the car was totaled in another state, moved to your state (a process called titled washing) and got a clean title for the short term, long enough to resell the car with a "clean title" even though it was totaled. When you renew your registration the title will come up salvage. Did you run a Carfax on this car prior to purchase?


How do you get your car title from Bank of America?

The only way to get your car title back from the Bank of America is to pay of the loan that the title is collateral for. If the loan is paid off, they will send you the title in the mail.
