Title Loans FAQs
A Title Loan (also called a Title Pawn in some of the states we operate in) is a loan that allows you to borrow cash using your car, motorcycle, or other accepted automobile title as collateral. Loan/Pawn amounts vary based on the vehicle's value, condition and other factors including the state in which you reside.
Title Loans typically allow for a larger lending amount than a Payday Loan or even an Installment Loan in some states. Factors that dictate how much you can borrow through a Title Loan include:
- The lender your choose to work with
- State laws that regulate Title Loans
- The condition of your vehicle
- The value of your vehicle
Contact your local Speedy Cash to find out if Title Loans are available and what the maximum lending amounts are in your area.
At Speedy Cash we do complete a credit check when processing your application. However, we work with customers of all credit backgrounds and we recognize the difficulties that go along with bad credit and make an attempt to serve all Customers the best we can. While we may use your credit in determining your loan approval, you may qualify for a Title Loan despite having bad credit depending on your income and ability to repay the loan.
Speedy Cash does not charge early payoff fees or have any penalties for doing so! In fact, we encourage you to pay your loan off early as it's in your best interest to do so. Paying more than the minimum amount due can also result in less interest accruing throughout the life of your loan. Pawns work differently where the pawn fee (interest) is not prorated or rebated with early payoff - it is earned when the pawn is originated. Be aware, however, that some other lenders may add early payoff fees. Always review your loan agreements in full and take note of any early payoff fees.
Title Loans use your vehicle as collateral to qualify you for a loan. Here's an overview of how Title Loans work:
- Fill out an application for a Title Loan
- As a par of the application process, your vehicle will be inspected by the lender
- Receive a lending decision based on your vehicle's value and condition, among other factors
- Review and sign your loan documents
- Upon approval, the lender places a lien on your vehicle title
- Receive cash for your loan and keep your car
- Pay back your Title Loan over a series of recurring payments
- Pawns are normally due for payment in full in 30 days
- Once the loan is repaid, the lien is removed from your vehicle's certificate of title
You will need to visit a Speedy Cash location in person to apply for a Title Loan.
It is possible to get a Title Loan without a clear title. In some states, Speedy Cash offers 2nd-lien Title Loans. This means you could still qualify for a Title Loan even if you are still making payments or owe money on your vehicle.
