Insurance Code section 1030.5

(a)

The liquidator may require, as a condition of payment of the final liquidation dividend to a lender, or his assignee, who has filed a claim for an unearned premium as an assignee of the insured for valuable consideration, that such assignee of the insured shall assign to the liquidator all his right, title, and interest in any unsatisfied debt of the insured to such assignee, pertaining to policies of the insolvent insurer, remaining unpaid after crediting the final liquidation dividend, if the amount of such unsatisfied debt is less than one hundred dollars and one cent ($100.01).
The liquidator may also require, as condition precedent, the delivery to him of all the documents giving rise to such debt.
The liquidator, in his sole discretion, may determine whether or not it will be feasible to attempt to collect any such assigned debt. If he determines not to pursue collection of any such debt, he shall file a declaration to that effect with the liquidation court and be relieved of any further responsibility in respect to such debt.

(b)

As used in this section, “insured” means a natural person who purchased insurance from the insolvent insurer for personal, family, or household purposes.
