How Do Title Loans Work?
When you’re in a tight financial situation, it can be hard not to feel alone, anxious, and desperate. At Your Loan Depot in Texas, we’re here to provide you with car title loans and payday loans that can help you can get back on your feet. No matter the financial emergency you’re experiencing, we hope we can help. From our blog, you already know the benefits of using a payday loan in a financial emergency. Because there’s a lot of confusion about title loans, in our blog today we’re going to briefly and simply explain what a title loan is.
What is a title loan?
In a car title loan, you use your vehicle title as collateral in order to get the loan and you pay the lender a fee. You must own the vehicle and have its lien-free title in order to do so. If you were to get a title loan, you would temporarily surrender your vehicle title (this could be to your car, truck, ATV, RV, or boat). Once you repay the loan, the vehicle title is returned to you. Your vehicle is never out of your possession. This is important to note, so that you know you can still get to work and other activities even though you used a car title loan. If you default on your payments, the lender is legally permitted to repossess the vehicle and sell it in order to repay the outstanding debt.
- The amount of money you’re able to borrow will depend on the title loan company and what your vehicle is worth.
- These are generally short-term loans, meaning that they’re scheduled to be repaid in less than one year and often as quickly as 30 days.
- Auto title loans typically carry higher interest rates than other credit options.
- Title loan applications can be quick — at times taking as few as 15 minutes — because lenders don’t always check your credit score or history and primarily considers the condition and value of the proposed vehicle.
How do you pay it off?
Payment terms and options will vary by state, product, and case. Before you hand over your title, make sure that you’re comfortable with the established regulations and that you’ll be able to pay it off on time. You can accrue interest and other fees the longer you wait to pay it off, so be aware of what you’re getting into from the start and make a plan of action. You don’t want to be out of cash and a vehicle a year from now.
