OK so after taking a loan on my title for 2000.00 about 2 years ago in Arizona I finally cant afford to pay any more. I have probably paid 10,000.00 to this day if not more but unfortunately it has only covered the interest and not knocked down my balance. I have never been able to pay more other then a few times to knock it down and now I am at the point where its a place to live or a car. Is there any way out of this or do I keep trying to pay the interest and hope one day I have extra cash to pay it off? This was a BIG lesson in life that I will never do again!


Unfortunately when you have put the auto title as collateral for the loan you have secured the loan against the car, meaning that the lender can seize the automobile and resale it to recover the loan. Even in that case you'd still be responsible for repayment if the car is sold for less than the outstanding amount.

You may talk with the lender if they can allow a more convenient payment plan.

Guest did you actually turn your title or registration over to the lender? If you have then the loan is secured with your car as collateral. There are some options you may have in getting your vehicle back without paying another 10k :(

You can call the lender an offer a lumpsum pay off for the title release. Explain that you have paid triple the amount of the loans value and cars value and you are in a rough spot. Let them know you will be unable to make future payments due to the 10k you have already sunk into the contract payments. Please read that contract carfully and ensure the company is licensed to lend in your state by calling your states Attorney General Office. Title loans operate under a different set of laws, so I advise seeking legal aide for further clarification of your contract and terms.

These places are as bad as PDL companies, so you have to be careful in what you sign. Please let us know how it turns out and best of luck!
