Can I get a car title loan without a job?

I’ve lost my job and am short on funds. Can I get a car title loan if I'm unemployed?

Title loans are only legal in 20 states, so whether you can get one will depend on where you live. That said, many lenders offering title loans do not require proof of income or credit scores. What they do require is:
  • Valid ID
  • Name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Information about the car for which you want to get a title loan
Keep in mind, you have to be at least 18 years old to apply for any loan.
Because these
types of loans can be dangerous and considered predatory
, it may be smart to consider other options first. Some options include:
  • Talking to whom you owe money (credit card or loan companies) and ask for extensions or short-term help
  • Ask friends and family for help
  • Check local community resources like churches or libraries for financial advice programs/assistance
You can also look at other places to cut or reduce costs. The
