the simple Pros and Cons of Auto Title Loans

If you've spent some time reading my blog and doing your own research about both Auto Title and Payday loans, maybe you're thinking that the whole ordeal is just too complicated. Well, don't be frightened because it's really quite simple.

The best thing to do when making any decision is weigh the pros and cons. So here they are!

As you know, an Auto Title Loan is granted using your vehicle as collateral. It's a great way to get some emergency cash if you need it but there certainly are consequences if you make irresponsible choices.

Auto Title Loan: Pros

If you own a car and have a job, getting an auto title loan is quite easy. There are plenty of sites on-line but some of the best are www.AutoCashUSA.com, www.TitleandPaydayLoans.com and www.RPMLenders.com.

All you need are your driver’s license, proof of residence (a utility bill will do) and your last pay stub to prove your employment status. Once your title of the car is verified, your loan is approved and usually you have the cash you need within 24 hours. Yes, it is that simple.

Typically speaking, loan applicants with a bad credit history get the big denial stamp. However, with an auto title loan, bad credit is not a disqualifying factor. So if your credit score is down in the dumps, don't worry!

Here's the best part...you get to keep your car. Your car is yours to keep, even while you're paying the loan back. I've heard some people liken Auto Title lenders to car thieves...and it's just ridiculous. No one is stealing your car.

Auto Title Loan: Cons

Let's be honest...the idea of getting your hands on a mountain of cash is attractive. Some people fall prey to this notion that and wind up being the biggest loser. Remember, these loans must be taken out with responsibility and only in urgent situations.

The reason I said what I said above about people painting Auto Title lenders as thieves is because of the very real risk that exists with these loans. You can lose your car. You use your car as collateral because the lender needs security in the event of your failure to repay. This is the absolute worst case scenario but it's happened to those who take out the loans when they shouldn't. So you see...they aren't really stealing your car. It's more like...you've given them the right to take possession of it in the event that you don't pay them back...which is basically like stealing their money. An eye for an eye, you know?


So...the lesson learned. Auto Title loans can be a great option for you if you're in an emergency type of situation AND have the means to pay it back. If you don't feel like you fit that description then you better reconsider your options and ask yourself why you really need all that money right now.

We're in a recession! Save your dang money!
