Car insurance question…

Posted by haighter User icon on October 3, 2026, 13:53:30

Back in April I donated my shitbox Volvo V50 to the Make A Wish foundation. I figured it’d go to pick n pull somewhere. I signed over the title and got a receipt. I cancelled my insurance.

I now think it was sold at auction and whoever bought it never insured it?

This morning I got a text from Geico asking for additional information for a claim filed a few days ago on the car. Say what? Could someone have purchased the car and never insured it, then had an accident and they just ran the vin to the last insured party?

I need to run this down to the ultimate end and not ignore it, right?

I definitely would not ignore. But they should have the dmv records too, which should

Also, i wouldn’t respond to the text. I’d call the number on Geico’s website.*

Yea…I immediately logged into the Geico portal and saw an active claim…

I can’t see any details but do see it’s against that previously insured car. I also can’t call Geico claims on the weekend, apparently.

I assume Geico is your insurance Co?

I'd just call my agent and tell them the details you laid out here

Why do you hate me, Sammich?
