How Does a Title Loan Work?
A title loan offers a fast and effective way to borrow money secured against your can, bike or truck. This makes them attractive for people who own a car and need to borrow money with a bad credit score — and because they might have been turned down for traditional products such as personal loans or payday loans.
You can be eligible whether you own the vehicle outright, on lease or partially on finance.
When applying for a car title loan, you temporarily hand over the ‘title’ to the lender who owns the vehicle for the duration of the loan. So you can borrow 25% to 50% of the car’s value (sometimes upon inspection of the vehicle) and repay over 30 days.
However, if you cannot keep up with repayments and the lender has tried to collect on several occasions without success, your car could be repossessed by the lender.
Car title loans or auto title loans are also known as ‘pink slip loans’ because you hand over the pink slip stating your ownership of the vehicle when you apply.

Can I Get a Title Loan With Bad Credit?
Yes, title loans for poor credit or very bad credit are popular because if you own a car outright or own most of it, you can use its value to release money. This makes this type of product popular for people who might have been declined loans from their bank, personal loans or installments loans.
However, it may depend on how bad your credit is, since you still need to show that you have a stable job and regular income coming in and that you can afford monthly repayments. But if you have a car that is in good condition, you can certainly use this as collateral to get the funds you need.
Do Title Loans Have No Credit Checks?
Yes and no, there are title loans with no credit checks, instead basing your eligibility on the value of the car, whether you own it and have a stable income to make repayments. This means that some title loan companies do not need the same traditional credit checks that come with a typical unsecured loan.
However, some title lenders may carry out credit checks, just to ensure that the individual does not have any existing bad debt and is not taking on more credit than they need to. See also no credit check loans.

FAQs For Title Loans
How Do The Repayments Work For Title Car Loans?
Title loans are often repaid over 30 days and are seen as a close alternative to payday loans. Some lenders allow you to borrow over 12 to 84 months if you require it.
Can I Apply For a Title Loans With a Used Car?
Yes you can get a title loan with a used car, provided that it is in good condition and has value. In this case, the car may be subject to an inspection and may need to be worth a certain amount for you to be eligible — and the lender will consider this on a case-by-case basis.
Can I Apply if I am Unemployed or Self-Employed?
Yes, you can complete an application if you are unemployed or on welfare, but this will need to be taken into consideration by the lender. Being able to afford repayments is key, so checking that you have some kind of income or way to meet your payments is essential.
For people who are self-employed, title loans are actually very popular, whether it is contractors, builders, handymen or drivers who want to use their vehicles to release some cash. You will not be denied for being self-employed and this could be a benefit.
Will My Car Be Repossessed if I Cannot Make Payments?
Yes, your loan is secured against the car and the lender is the temporary owner of the vehicle — so if you cannot make payments, your car will be seized to cover your repayments and the losses.
Importantly, your car will not be repossessed immediately, since the lender will try to contact you and help you to repay. The industry is regulated and the lenders are required to offer payment plans and arrangements and only as a final last resort can your can be taken away.
What Does Placing a Lien On Your Car’s Title Mean?
You may hear the phrase ‘placing a lien’ when searching about auto title loans. This is where the lender becomes a temporary owner of the vehicle during the loan term. Once you repay your loan, it is handed back to you. If you cannot meet repayments, the lender becomes the full owner of the vehicle and will take your car as payment.
Does it Matter if My Vehicle Has Multiple Owners?
Yes, all owners will need to have knowledge of the loan application and you will need permissions from all parties in order to proceed. The other parties may also be subject to checks.
What Are The Alternatives To Title Loans?
Title loans can be expensive forms of borrowing, but they are a viable option for people with bad credit. There are always a number of low cost alternatives available and you should start by speaking to family and friends who may be able to lend you money for an emergency.
You can also look at co-signer loans if you can have someone to guarantee your loan agreement. Also make sure that you have done your research before using something as collateral because you could lose this if you are unable to keep you with repayments.
