Check City Title Loans

A title loan is also known as a pink-slip loan, a title pledge, or a title pawn. It is a secure, short-term loan that you receive after giving a lender a lien on your car. 

This means that you offer the title of your car as collateral in case you fail to repay the loan. Once you have paid off the loan the lien is removed and your vehicle title is returned to you.

Normally, a title loan is a small, short-term loan that is paid and repaid in one lump sum. 

For customers who need a larger title loan or a longer repayment plan, Check City offers the Installment Title Loan. This loan option also uses the title of your car to qualify for the loan, but the repayment plan works in installments, allowing you to repay your loan over time. 

When you want to take out a title loan you'll first need to visit a Check City store with your car and the car's title. 

A Check City representative will then inspect your car and determine its value. This will help determine how much you are able to receive for your title loan. 

After the in-store application is complete, if approved, Check City will take out a lien on your car's title and you'll get your funds.

A lien is a claim a lender is given over an asset or property, in case the loan or debt is not repaid. 

A lien allows a lender to become a temporary co-owner of the property or asset during the loan term and allows them the right to claim full ownership of the vehicle should the loan not be repaid. 

By taking out a title loan with Check City, consumers will be granting Check City a lien on their vehicle. Please contact a Check City Location in your area for additional information.

We do not want your vehicle, we want to make sure that you keep your car and have the ability to repay the loan. We do reserve the right to repossess the car in extreme cases of non payment on your loan.

You need to be at least 18 years old or older in order to take out a title loan.

The title needs to be in the applicant’s name. The vehicle title should also be clear and free of any liens. If there is more than one person on the title then both people need to be present to apply for the loan.

Refinancing is available for customers who qualify. After your first successful loan payment, you can refinance your loan anytime to access credit that is still available to you.

Yes, customers have the option to make early payments. Customers can pay off the loan amount faster by paying early.

Yes, customers have the option to make larger payments in order to pay the loan off quicker. For payments that are larger than the scheduled amount due, the extra payment will be applied toward the principal loan amount.

Yes, customers have the option to make partial payments. Partial payments are first applied to the finance charge and then the principal loan amount. 

The due date will not be extended unless the entire finance charge and the entire principal amount have been paid. A partial payment can be accepted whether the customer is on time or late.

If a customer misses a payment or is late making a payment then Check City will work with the borrower to help them get back on track. Our friendly loan agents are eager to help our customers whenever they can.
