Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida

I own a small buy here pay here car lot. One of my customers has totaled their vehicle and also had defaulted and I hold a certificate of repossession. The customers insurance carrier refuses to pay off the lien I hold because the customer refuses to cooperate. I was under the impression that the certificate of repossession entitles me to payment for the lien interest even without my customer cooperating with his insurance carrier.
