Title Loans Caldwell, Idaho

If you are in need of cash, then you have probably looked into several different options for getting the money that you need. It is also likely that one of the options you have come across in your search is title loans. In terms of title loans Caldwell, Idaho residents are quite fortunate in that they have many different lenders to choose from. Another nice thing about title loans Caldwell and Nampa residents can appreciate is the fact that title loans Idaho laws actually offer quite a few protections to borrowers that take them out, making these loans a truly great option.

In order to take out a title loan, borrowers simply need to have a lien-free vehicle title that they can use as collateral on the loan, and, because there is collateral involved, there is no reason for borrowers to have good credit or even any credit. In fact, their credit will not even be checked when determining eligibility for the loan. In addition to having a vehicle title, the only other thing borrowers will need is to have a verifiable regular source of income to prove that they can pay back the loan. Other than these basic qualifications, however, getting a title loan is incredibly easy and fast, and borrowers can even continue to use their vehicles as they pay back the loan.

 

Licensed Lenders

One thing that borrowers should know before they even consider taking out a title loan is that, under Idaho state law, all lenders are required to be licensed by the state in order to offer title loans in Idaho. Dealing with an unlicensed lender, then, is the same thing as dealing with an illegal lender and can end up with the borrower getting cheated or scammed. For that reason, borrowers are encouraged to research any lender they are thinking of working with and to take steps to ensure that the lender is fully licensed and legal. Borrowers shouldn’t just take lenders at their word either. Instead, they should actually contact the licensing bureau to positively ensure that they are dealing with a licensed lender.

If borrowers do not do this and thus end up entering into an illegal title loan agreement, the loan and any agreements related to it will be rendered void. While this is a nice protection, it still does not keep borrowers safe from scam artists posing as lenders. These types of “lenders” give the industry an unfairly bad name, but if borrowers are careful and proactive, they can avoid them and stay safe while still getting the cash funds that they need.

 

Title Loan Contracts

It is also important to note that, under Idaho state law, the loan “record” and/or contract must contain all of the following, providing full disclosure to the borrower:

• The make of the titled vehicle
• The model of the vehicle
• The year of the vehicle
• The vehicle identification number (VIN)
• The license plate number of the vehicle
• Contact information and identifying information of the borrower
• The date that the title loan is entered into
• The maturity date of the loan
• The name and identifying information of the lender
• Contact information for addressing complaints related to the loan
• Disclosure statements that make clear what the loan is, how it works, and advice on how to properly use these loans

The title loan quote and therefore the amount of money the borrower can receive depends of the value of the vehicle. When borrowers ensure that all of this information is included on their contracts, this serves as further proof that they are dealing with a licensed, legitimate lender and also provides them with helpful information concerning their rights related to the title loan. As long as borrowers deal with reputable lenders and check their contracts carefully, they should have no problems with these loans and, in fact, have thoroughly positive experiences with title loans.
