Episode 1340
In this episode, we break down the high-stakes world of title loans, a type of secured lending where borrowers use their vehicle title as collateral to access quick cash. We explore how these loans function, from the 15-minute approval process that bypasses traditional credit checks to the valuation methods lenders use to offer 30% to 50% of a car's auction value,.
Listeners will learn about the significant financial risks involved, including:
• The Debt Trap: How triple-digit APRs—often exceeding 300%—and short-term "balloon payments" can force borrowers to roll over loans repeatedly,,.
• Repossession: The legal right of lenders to seize and sell a borrower's vehicle upon default, a fate that affects approximately 5% to 9% of those who cannot pay,.
• Regulatory Loopholes: How lenders in some states bypass interest rate caps and military lending protections by structuring deals as open-ended credit or operating as Credit Services Organizations,.
Join us as we discuss the demographic realities of "small-dollar-credit" consumers and the ongoing legislative battles to regulate an industry often criticized as predatory,,.
