There are a lot of misconceptions about how a Delaware title loan works. Misconduct by other title lenders has caused title loans in Delaware and other states to get a bad reputation. Auto Equity Loans of DE, LLC is not like other title lenders. Here at Auto Equity Loans we let you keep your vehicle and your keys. Other title lenders take advantage of client’s dire financial hardships. Clients become mislead on credit terms, interest and ways to pay back by other title lenders. Here at Auto Equity Loans we explain everything to our customers upfront. Most consumers are hesitant to apply for a Delaware title loan from Auto Equity Loans due to the fact they think all title lenders are out to repossess their vehicle. I have heard consumers say, “To get a title loan is like asking for your vehicle to be repossessed”. For Auto Equity loans, this is a huge misconception. We assist our clients while they are going through financial difficulties, before, during and after the loan process. We work with clients who have difficulty making their payments, by offering them a grace period and allowing our clients to refinance without charging them a fee. This allows clients to extend their terms and lower their payments. Another big misconception when receiving a Delaware title loan is that clients are just paying interest. Many title lenders offer one way to pay back your loan. This option is called a balloon payment, where you are just spending money on interest each payment and are left with one final sum of interest to be paid back at the end of the loan. Here at Auto Equity Loans, we have two ways to pay back your loan; they include a “balloon” and “amortized” payment plan. When clients choose an amortized loan they are spending money on principle and interest with each payment they make. When clients choose amortized as a way to pay back their loan they do not have to pay the last lump sum of interest when their loan is over. This makes it easier for clients to pay off the loan in 7-12 months. As always we have no prepayment penalties either. We are the title lender that saves you money!
