Now, whether they want to or not, they can use the insurance money to re-build something less grand which totals under the conforming loan limit so their problem is solved. Your story reminds me, just recently I was checking my credit report as I do every six months or so to look for errors or red flags (ever since I had some idiot steal a credit card number and cause all sorts of problems). I checked the list of companies looking at my report and there, hidden behind a third party, was my insurance company. Since I haven't taken out any new insurance in about ten years I was curious why they would look into my credit report. All I could think of is they are doing this routinely with all their customers as a way to spot, up front, which policy holders might be tempted to get out of a fix by burning down their houses or dumping their cars in a quarry.
