Car Title Loan Laws in Arizona

Posted April 24, 2012 by My Tio Rico

When you need emergency cash, one option you have to get a quick loan is a car title loan if you have a valid title that shows you own a car, truck, motorcycle, or RV. This type of loan is made against the equity of the vehicle. As long as you make your payments on time, you can continue to use your vehicle as you normally would.

The auto title loan industry is regulated by state and federal laws. These types of loans are perfectly legal in Arizona, and the state agency that licenses auto title loan companies is the Department of Financial Institutions. In the state statutes, auto title loan companies are referred to as “secondary motor finance companies.” (more…)

Arizona Auto Title Loans: Interest Rates and Payment Terms

Posted April 24, 2012 by My Tio Rico

Do you need some cash to keep you afloat until your next paycheck? Or maybe you encountered an unexpected financial emergency and need cash as soon as possible to resolve it. When you need cash fast, an auto title loan can be an option, even if you don’t have good credit. All you need is a car with a clean title (and in some cases, proof of auto insurance.)

The value of the car is used as collateral for the loan. But you can still use the car as you pay back the loan. In most cases, you can apply and be approved for an auto title loan in less than a half hour. (more…)

Disclosures

Not for all financial needs: This is a short-term loan designed to help with your immediate cash needs. It will not solve your long-term needs and refinancing will result in additional charges. We encourage you to (1) borrow only what you need and can repay and (2) shop the marketplace until you are convinced that you have found the best possible solution.

Transparency of costs for your loan: The cost of credit will be clearly disclosed to you in terms of the dollar amount of interest and the APR according to the principles of federal truth in lending law and regulations. For details on the specific costs of your loan, please see cost and terms on your loan agreement. Late fees and non-sufficient funds/returned item fees may apply as described in your loan agreement. We will never charge you any "hidden fees" that are not fully disclosed in the loan agreement.

Right of Rescission: If you change your mind about the loan, you may rescind your loan at no charge as long as you return the loan proceeds within the number of days specified in your loan agreement.

Implications of Late and Non-Payment: Policy and Procedure Regarding Late Payment and Non Payment of loan:

ARIZONA
Late Payments Title and Personal Loans: Late Payments are monitored and oversaw by the Arizona Dept Of Financial Institutions. Per title 44-6002 late fees are to be charged at a rate of 5% of the unpaid installment amount due. As disclosed in our note and security agreement we charge 5% of the unpaid principal balance of the installment amount due. This does not take effect until the customer reaches a stage of delinquency of not less than 10 days.

Non Payment of Title Loan: If a customer does not pay per the specified dates on the note and security agreement their vehicle could potentially become subject to a repossession. We always try to work with our customers as our first goal and priority is for our customers to be successful in the repayment of their loan.

Non Payment of Personal Loan: In the event a customer's loan account charges off due to non-payment they may be subject to further legal action per the note and security agreement. The note and security agreement is a legal and binding agreement where if necessary we retain the ability to seek judgment and garnishment as a remedy due to non-payment of the unpaid balance of loan.

Quick Personal Loan Terms:

Late Payment/Non-payment of loan can be found in the section above or on our disclosures page.
Fees – There are no fees associated with a personal loan other then a NSF charge if in the event the Bank Processor returns the payment due to non sufficient funds.
Renewal Policy – All personal loans are written for a term of 6-9 months that are paid in a range from 13 to 20 Bi-Weekly payments or 12 to 18 Semi Monthly payments. The majority of our personal loans are written as "installment loans" meaning that if the customer makes their payments on time at the end of the loan the account will be paid in full. If, in the event a customer falls behind or requests to have an Interest only loan, there are a multitude of options available. For example, they may renew their loan with a reduced rate as a installment to cure past due payments or renew their loan at a reduced rate.
