<prompt> Human: So I was rear ended and the person at faults insurance gave me an estimate based on photos I sent them. I was told to take the estimate to a local repair shop and the repair shop agreed to do the repairs. The local repair shop approved the estimate. The insurance company sent me a check in my name with the amount of the estimate. I then gave the car to be repaired. Upon getting the car back the shop said I didnt owe them anything and I left. What should I be doing with the money I recieved??,I dont want to get sued, Ive never had this happen before!Assistant: Its possible they send you the check to get it repaired, but paid the repair shop as well? Probably some miscommunication with their insurance provider. Regardless, dont spend the check or assume its free money. If it was a mistake, they are going to be asking for that check back.Human: I havent spent it. I had it deposited in my checking but took it out shortly after getting the car back and not being charged for repairs. I have it hidden away in case they ask for it back.Assistant: Let me clarify after receiving the check I deposited it so when I thought I had to pay the repair shop, I would have it paid easy through my debit card. After I picked up the car I withdrew the money so I could figure out what to do with it.Human: So you have cash instead of leaving it in the bank? Why? Assistant: My wife and I share the checking account. She has no control.  <response>: Yikes.
