“I wanted to share my experience with a web company called LakeHavasuCityCarTitleLoans.com last month. I am a single parent in Lake Havasu City. I know a lot of people think it’s a party destination, but I was born and raised here, and I need to work hard to make a living here. Every year tons of college kids pour in here from all over the place, getting drunk and raising hell. My son’s dog Pepper was hit by one of these kids, andit nearly killed him. The driver didn’t even stop, he was probably drunk and afraid he’d get busted if he tried to be a decent human being and help the poor dog. But, he didn’t. And Pepper ended up dragging himself back to our house with a broken hip. My son is five and when he saw the dog he freaked out. We took him to the vet and they could tell he had a broken hip, but to get him tended to was going to cost around $1500. When the vets assistant mentioned putting Pepper to sleep instead, my son just lost it completely. I promised him we’d find the money, and I went home and got on the computer. I searched fast cash loans in Lake Havasu and found LakeHavasuCityCarTitleLoans.com, so I clicked on the link. They referred me to Fast Auto Loans Inc. in Lake Havasu City. I drove my ex-husband’s old work van over to their location and 15 minutes later I had the cash we needed to get Pepper fixed up right. I’m all about Fast Auto Loans Inc. and the nice people that work there.”

It is starting to get hotter and hotter, and when it get’s like this I start to think of my childhood vacations. We used to stay in Ocean City, NJ in a house owned by a Mr. and Mrs. Seaman (I didn’t get the humor of their name until later in life). They rented out a second story addition of their GIGANTIC ocean home, just 1 block from the beach. They were a really nice couple of old folks, and they were always so kind to my sister and I, offering us ice cream on their porch at night and beautiful shells from their collection for souvenirs when we left. The most peculiar thing about Mr. Seaman was that to save gas he would push his car out of the garage in to the driveway. This was an old dude, probably early 70s, pushing an old Lincoln around. Well, one year we didn’t go back to the rental because Mr. Seaman had stroked out (probably from car pushing) and Mrs. Seaman wasn’t renting anymore.
The reason I even thought of vacations was because of a reader who sent me a letter about his experience in South Carolina when he needed a title loan. He wasn’t far from Hilton Head in Beaufort, SC when he needed some fast South Carolina title loan cash.
“Hey man, I found a great title loan in Beaufort, SC last month. My brother works in the area doing historic renovations on houses there. I was down there helping him on a job when we ran in to some trouble with cash flow. We needed about $5000 to cover payroll until we got our next check from the client. I looked around for options, and soon realized a traditional loan would either take too long or just be flatly denied. My brother and I decided a title loan would be our best solution to our short-term cash needs, so I did a little looking around. What I found was the best title loan store in all of South Carolina, and one of their title loan store locations was right in Beaufort. Carolina Title Loans, Inc. was able to put the cash we needed in our hands in just about 15 minutes, with no BS credit checks or any other hoops to jump through. Best part was, we got to keep and use our work truck during our title loan in South Carolina. We finished the job, paid our guys and suppliers on time, and moved on to the next job. It’s good to know Carolina Title Loans, Inc. has locations all over South Carolina, and they’re only a mouse click away in a jam.”

Hmmm. I hope this person is only messing with me, but if you are in a jam and need fast cash with no hassles, a title loan is a great option. You can take care of almost any type of emergency with a title loan. I’ve heard all sorts of stories from people getting themselves out of jams with a title loan. The best one ever was a guy who paid off his brother’s bail bondsman with a title loan. Or the woman who used a title loan to buy in to a business opportunity when the owner needed an investor. Oh cash money, how you can transform lives!
And just an FYI for everyone else, if you are looking for a title loan in Arizona, check out this site. It has all the bells and whistles, like the online Arizona title loan application, an Arizona title loan store finder, and an information page that explains all about Arizona title loans. Peace!

Q. I read somewhere that the interest rates on a title loan can be well over 200% in some places, and that a title loan is a rip-off. You seem to think you know a thing or two about title loans, so what do you think? Is a title loan a rip-off?
A. Hi Gene. Thanks for the email. As I always try to do, let’s give your question some perspective. First of all, let’s define the percentage rate on a title loan compared to the length of the loan. Let’s compare it to a credit card, at 29.99% APR, which is what my Citibank card went to a few months back for NO APPARENT REASON! Anyway, that 29.99% is the APR, which is the annual percentage rate. That means you divide the 29.99% by 12 months, and you have the percentage of 2.5 % for the monthly term. A title loan is different than a credit card in the fact that a title loan is for a set period of time, usually about one month, unless you renew it. When people renew the title loan, otherwise known as “rolling it over“, they extend the title loan another 4 weeks. This is when people can get in to trouble, but we’ll get to that later. On average, the monthly interest rate on a title loan is about 9%. Even at the extreme rate of 200% APR, the interest rate for a one month title loan works out to about just under 17%. That means if you got a $1000 title loan, when the loan was due you would only owe $1170. Sound reasonable? It really is.
A title loan company only has a small amount of time to make their money back, unlike a credit card which will string a customer along for up to 30 years of minimum monthly payments. Ideally, a title loan company makes their money in a short period of time, and the customer leaves happy. A happy, satisfied customer is a return customer, and the best type of advertising around. The horror stories you hear about title loans stem from mostly two things: unscrupulous title loan lenders and customers who get a title loan without the ability to repay it in a timely manner. That’s why is is so important to research your decision to get a title loan and make sure you are dealing with a reputable lender. It is also IMPERATIVE you have a plan to pay back your title loan. Would you set out on a journey with no idea of how to get where you are going? Without a plan to get home? Lastly, a title loan is a short-term emergency loan, and it is easy to get. Add in the convenience factor, and I think the myth that title loans are a rip-off seems a little far fetched. Just think of that the next time you pay extra for milk at a convenience store.

I’m not the kind of person to fawn over a title loan company, but I had a really positive experience when I found FresnoCarTitleLoans.com when I needed a title loan in Fresno, CA. I’m still pretty new to the area, and I don’t know if you are familiar with Fresno, but it is a small-minded, unhealthy, smoggy, highly unemployed, crime and poverty ridden city. It ranks at the bottom 95% or worse of all those “nice cities” lists. Last year Fresno was dead last in California in terms of quality of life issues, such as crime-safety. It’s often been said that Fresno is not really a part of California, and the number of Rush Limbaugh bumper stickers on pick up trucks with gun racks seems to confirm this. Can you tell I hate it here? I’m stuck in this dump taking care of my grandmother, and I can’t wait to move back to San Francisco.
Anyway, last week there was a screw-up with my grandma’s Medicare, and her medications were not showing up in the system. The pharmacy had them filled and waiting, but the government wasn’t coughing up the dough. Bottom line, if she doesn’t take her medicine, she could die. There was no money to cover the cost until everything got sorted out, so I had to come up with some fast cash in Fresno. I did a quick search at the library for short-term loans in Fresno and found FresnoCarTitleLoans.com just in the nick of time. It was amazing how fast I was able to find a title loan in Fresno, and the location finder took all the guesswork out of finding the title loan I needed. I was able to get the $650 I needed in just 15 minutes, and my grandma got her medicine. It good to know there are options like FresnoCarTitleLoans.com when the chips are down.

Every morning I wait for the bus in front of a BP station, watching people drive up and fill their tanks.
Are they not outraged, do they not care, did they not notice the logo?
But is it better if they drive further to fill up at Exxon, which survived the last major oil boycott in the early 1990s to set new profit records in the 21st Century? The effort to boycott BP, growing for a few weeks now, is undermined by the lack of a clean competitor and by the extent to which petroleum is woven into our lives. Hate BP? Stop driving, I’d like to insist, but I know there’s little hope of that.
