Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Colonial Heights, VA?
Car title loans are legal in Virginia from lenders licensed under Chapter 22 of Title 6.2. You can start online; the lender will need to see the car and a lien-free (or nearly paid-off) title in your name.
How much can I get for my car title in Colonial Heights?
No more than $2,500, and a lender may not have you owe it more than $2,500 in principal at any time. The vehicle may not already have a lien on it. Most lenders lend a percentage of the car's wholesale value.
What happens if I miss a title loan payment in Colonial Heights?
Except for fraud or voluntary surrender, the lender may not take the vehicle until you are in default. If it does not mail you a written default notice at least 10 days before repossessing (and you then fail to pay), it may not charge you repossession and sale costs, and it may not repossess before the date stated in the notice. At least 15 days before a sale it must tell you the sale date and the redemption amount, and you may redeem the vehicle any time before the sale. Interest stops accruing once the vehicle is repossessed, or 60 days after a missed payment (unless you are hiding the vehicle). The lender generally may not sue you personally; its remedy is the vehicle.
Can I get a title loan without the title?
You generally need the title, because it's what secures the loan. If your title is lost, you can request a duplicate from the Virginia motor vehicle agency, and some lenders can help with that step. If the title isn't in your name, it will need to be transferred first. Once you have it, Colonial Heights drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
What is a title loan in Colonial Heights?
A title loan is a loan secured by your vehicle's title. The lender holds a lien on your car while you keep driving it, and the lien is released once the loan is repaid. Because the car secures the loan, approval depends largely on your vehicle's value, not just your credit. Colonial Heights drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Can I refinance my title loan in Colonial Heights?
Often, yes. Some lenders let you refinance an existing title loan into a new loan with a different payment amount or term, and a new lender may be able to pay off your current one. Options depend on your vehicle's value, your income and Virginia rules. Enter your details on our form to see what lenders in our network can offer you. It takes about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan with a salvage or rebuilt title?
It's harder, but not always impossible. Many lenders require a clean title, while some will consider a rebuilt title after the car has passed inspection. Salvage titles are rarely accepted because the vehicle's value is hard to confirm. If your title is branded, mention it on our form so lenders serving Colonial Heights can tell you upfront whether they can help. It takes about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan online in Colonial Heights?
Yes. Many title lenders let you start and complete most of the process online. You enter your vehicle and income details, then upload photos of your car, title and ID instead of visiting a store. Some lenders may still ask for a quick in-person inspection. Funds are usually sent to your bank account. Start your Colonial Heights title loan request in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Colonial Heights?
No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
