Are Title Loans Secured or Unsecured?
This is a common question for borrowers.Unsecured loans have no collateral secured to the loan. Online signature loans and credit cards are examples of unsecured loans. If the borrower defaults, the lender has no fixed asset to repossess and sell to get the loan balance paid off.
A title loan is actually a secured loan. The car is what secures the loan. By turning over the title to the vehicle, the borrower is allowing the lender to secure the loan with the car. Now, when the loan is paid off, the lender will send the title back to the borrower immediately.
