hat to do if my son was an excluded driver on my insurance policy and he had an accident in my car?

He had his license and my permission to drive the car. The insurance company will not cover the damage. I cannot afford to fix my car and pay a car note. What is my next step?

You may not have a next step. An insurance policy is a contract; like any other contract, it is enforceable only as per its plain terms. If your son was an excluded driver, the insurance does not have to cover him, even if he was driving with your permission, because he was specifically excluded from coverage.
