HOW DO I PAY BACK MY AUTO TITLE LOAN?
Based on these FAQ, this is up to you. You can choose to make it a 90 Day Short Term Loan, or you can choose to extend the loan to last 12 – 36 months. If you choose the latter, you can choose to have your loan amortized, or choose to have your monthly payment cover the interest only.
However you need to understand that by paying the interest only, nothing is being applied to your principal balance. We recommend that you budget yourself so you are able to not only pay the interest but apply some of your payment to the principal each and every month. Doing this lowers each monthly payment as you work your way down to paying off your loan.
IS THERE A PRE-PAYMENT PENALTY?
No. You can pay off your vehicle title loan at any time. We recommend that you pay it back as soon as you can but if you need more time, then we will write the loan for an extended period to give you the time you need. FAQ with a short and sweet answer.
IF I PAY DOWN THE PRINCIPAL OF MY CAR TITLE LOAN IS THE INTEREST CALCULATED ON THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT BORROWED?
No. At Phoenix Title Loans you will pay only the interest on the amount of principal remaining on your car title loan. So as you pay down the principal you will be paying less interest as well.
WHAT IS A TITLE PAWN?
This is one of the more interesting FAQ. Although there is little difference between the terms, most title pawns involve you surrendering the vehicle to us for the duration of the loan. And the loan is for only 90 days. Therefore, we hold it in one of our safe and secure storage facilities until you redeem your pawn. As opposed to an auto title loan wherein you get to still drive your vehicle.
WHY GET A TITLE LOAN?
A title loan allows you to get the money you need now while still being able to drive your vehicle.
WHEN DO I GET MY TITLE BACK AFTER I HAVE PAID OFF THE LOAN?
Immediately upon paying off your loan, the vehicle’s title is returned to you. Giving you the option of picking it up directly from the store or we can mail it to you.
CAN I INCREASE MY TITLE LOAN?
That depends entirely on the value of your vehicle and how much money you were approved for. For example: If you were approved for $2000 but only used $500 of that, and realize that you needed the full amount, then you could take the remaining $1500. Or if you have paid off the majority of the loan, and find the need for cash again, you can go through the process to refinance your loan.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO OBTAIN ANOTHER TITLE LOAN AFTER PAYING MINE OFF?
The answer to these frequently asked questions is simple. There is no waiting period. If needed, you can obtain a new title loan on your car immediately after you have paid your existing title loan off.
