I don't get what you want. Gap insurance is an add-on to an auto insurance policy which says (in my basic terms), if the car is totaled, and you owe more than the car is worth, the insurance will cover the "gap", so you owe zero. Good stuff to have. If you pay off the car, there is no more gap insurance policy, by definition, because you do not owe on the car. You will not get a refund just because the extension of the policy was never used. Check your contracts.

Gap insurance is a way a dealer makes more money on the card and for consumer lawyers it is in fact many times a total fraud. I strongly suggest that you check to see if what you paid for you in fact had. If you did not have it, then fraud occurred. If you are in may area, call me after you have determined what really happened. Want to know the law without going to law school? Protect yourself against ripoffs?
