Title Loans and Their Smart Alternatives

Title loans provide quick cash solutions. Explore alternatives like the Yendo credit card for flexible credit options.

What is title loan?

Title loans are secured loans where borrowers use their vehicle as collateral, borrowing against its value, but face high interest rates, making repayment challenging. If borrowers default, the lender can repossess the vehicle; thus, it’s crucial to be confident in their ability to repay on time.

Ways to get out of title loan

Repay Your Loan ASAP

Pay off your title loan quickly to avoid high interest and potential repossession. Prioritize other debts first to free up funds for faster repayment.

Consolidate with a Debt Consolidation Service

Debt consolidation combines multiple debts into a single payment, potentially lowering your interest rate and simplifying management.

Find a Better Way to Borrow Money

Avoid costly title loans; consider Yendo, which offers a credit card based on vehicle value with no credit check and a 29.88% APR.

Change Your Car’s Title

Own your vehicle outright by purchasing a cheaper car with cash, preventing title loan companies from claiming it.

Take Legal Action Against the Lender

If treated unfairly, you can challenge your title loan in court for discharge, but consult an attorney for guidance.

Get a Personal Loan Instead

Personal loans have lower rates and structured repayment plans, offering a better option than title loans, especially through credit unions.

Title loans are costly and risky; consider alternatives like debt consolidation or Yendo's credit card to build credit and avoid additional debt.

What will my credit line be?

How many days do I have to repay?

You have 25 days after the end of your monthly statement to make a payment. You can make payments at anytime, and you will need to make a minimum payment of 1% of your statement balance  + interest and fees. We're here to help, so if you do need assistance making your minimum monthly payment, please give us a call.

If I miss a payment, do I lose my car?
Plus sign

We will always work with you to try to establish a plan that works with your situation. However, as a lienholder, we can exercise our right to recover an outstanding balance, but this is our last option. Keep in mind that with Yendo, your minimum monthly payment can be more affordable compared to other alternatives like title loans.

If I sign up, when and how do I get my title back?
Plus sign

You can get your title back at any time by paying off your balance and giving us a call to close your account. Once we verify that your balance is $0, Yendo will close your account and remove its lien from your title. We will then release the title to you within 10 days of payoff - please note that there may be some situations outside of Yendo's control, such as DMV processing timelines, that could extend this timeframe. Or you can keep your account open with a $0 balance and pay no interest, so you can have continued access to your credit card when or if you wish to use it.

What are my payment terms?
Plus sign

While your official due date is 25 days after receipt of your previous monthly statement, you can pay off all or a portion of your balance in advance at any time. The best part? If you pay your statement balance on or before the due date every month, you’ll pay zero interest on purchases. In the event you don’t pay off your full balance, our minimum payment is 1% of your principal balance or $50, whichever is greater. Please note if you have interest or fees charged to your account, these will be added to your minimum payment due.

What is overlimit?
Plus sign

If your balance exceeds your credit limit, your account is overlimit. You will need to make a payment that brings your balance below your credit limit and make at least a minimum payment to unblock your card.
