Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

If someone bought a car from you but did'nt make the payments on time like they were supposed to and still owed you over 1000 dollars and you still had the insurance in your name and they ended up totaling the car do they get any of the money that the insurance company gives you for the value of the car? And the car is still registered in my name???

realistically, that means that under this formula they might be entitled to ZERO.)
