IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING INSURANCE
COVERAGE
ON YOUR VEHICLE:
Under
Chapter 13, if you own an automobile that has a lien on it, YOU ARE
REQUIRED TO CARRY COMPREHENSIVE AND COLLISION INSURANCE COVERAGE on
that automobile until the lien has been paid in full.
If you currently have
Comprehensive and Collision insurance coverage on your automobile, it is
your responsibility to immediately provide your Trustee with proof of such
coverage, by providing the following information:
|
YOU
MUST PROVIDE YOUR TRUSTEE ALL INFORMATION REQUESTED BELOW! |
|
|
|
|
1. Your name and case number
|
4. Name of Insurance company |
|
2. Year, make and model of auto |
5. Name of Agent |
|
3. Date coverage is effective |
6. Agent’s office address & Phone
number |
IF YOU
DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE OTHER AUTO INSURANCE, insurance coverage will be
automatically placed on your auto beginning with the date you filed your
Chapter 13 petition. The charges for this insurance will be added to, and
paid by, your Chapter 13 case, which will cause your monthly plan payment
to increase.
This insurance is Comprehensive and Collision only. It
is not Liability coverage, as required by the State of Arkansas to obtain
a license tag for your automobile.
IF YOU
OBTAIN OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE on your vehicle at any time after the
filing of your Chapter 13 petition, you must immediately provide the
Trustee with proof of insurance for your automobile.
IF
YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PROOF OF INSURANCE COVERAGE ON YOUR AUTO by your
first scheduled 341(a) Meeting of Creditors hearing, Comprehensive and
Collision insurance will be automatically placed for you, and a new
payroll order will be entered increasing your chapter 13 plan payment by
the amount of the insurance premium(s).
YOU SHOULD MAIL YOUR PROOF OF COVERAGE TO:
Joyce Babin, Trustee
Attn: Auto Insurance Program
P.O. Box 8064
Little Rock, AR 72201-8064
If you do not have Comprehensive and
Collision coverage on your automobile and would like the Trustee to obtain
coverage for you, you should contact the local agent for Arch Insurance
Company, Priority Insurance Agency at (501) 244-2288 or
