Here's a situation of someone I know. He rented a car and got into accident which wasn't his fault. So he applied for a Collision Damage Waiver Program which is provided by one of the credit cards. They sent him a check for the amount of damage. However, the other party's insurance paid the Car Rental the amount of damage as well. The insurance provider of the benefit for the credit card found out about that and is now requesting that check back. So what are the implications of not returning the check? After all, that was a benefit provided by the credit card company. It doesn't make sense that they're taking away that benefit. Does the benefit provider have reasonable grounds to sue? Can the person keep the check? In that CDW program there was no mention of having to return anything in any of the circumstances.
