Description of the problem	This vehicle caught on fire in may, we got it put out, and i turned it into my insurance company, they had us take it to a garage and i did. I took it to waterfront jeep garage, they said they didn't see anything that had been on fire and we told them how the wires are and everything. We paid $94 to get it back. I was taking my daughter and niece (1yearold), nephew(2yearold)swimming and decided to go pick my husband up first, i dropped my nephew off and was going home, stopped at my mother in laws and it was smoldering with smoke we all got out safe but my vehicle burnt. The insurance company now is geico, and they have been good at taking care of it, but they don't pay the whole loan off, only what it was worth, which is -600. The bank keeps charging interest but what to do until they are paid. My question is can i do anything about waterfront sending us back out in an unsafe car or the insurance company i had then, which i had to pay the taxes of the difference of the rental car since they don't pay taxes.
