Re: money owed
Explain to your uncle that his name is on the car note, he took the vehicle two years ago, and he gave it to his daughter who carelessly wecked it. The insurance money is his, and so is the balance of the note. You do not have to pay him anything, assuming that you paid for the first four years that you had the vehicle.
