Key Takeaways:
- Title Loans can fund fast, but small issues like missing documents, incorrect details, or incomplete applications can slow down approval.
- Having a clear title, valid photo ID, proof of income, and a completed application helps ensure same-day approval and funding.
- Common delays include title problems, expired or mismatched IDs, incomplete online forms, and vehicle ownership questions.
- Cash Time supports applicants by identifying missing information early, providing multiple ways to submit documents, and assisting with refinances and unique situations to keep the process moving smoothly.
Title Loans are fast unless something unexpected slows them down. And when that happens, it’s usually because of something simple. A missed step. A missing document. A typo. The kind of thing you don’t notice until it holds things up.
At Cash Time, we’ve helped thousands of people get approved quickly. But we’ve also seen the little hiccups that cause delays. The good news? Most of them are easy to avoid if you know what to watch for.
What Do You Actually Need to Get a Title Loan?
We keep it simple, but there are a few things you must have. If something’s missing or off, we can’t move forward until it’s fixed. You can speed up the approval process by being prepared!
- A clear vehicle title: Your car title must be in your name and paid for. If you don’t have the title, a copy of the registration works.
- Valid identification: A government-issued photo ID or driver’s license to check your identity.
- Vehicle inspection: Before we can fund your loan, we will conduct a casual inspection of the condition of your vehicle. This can be done in person at any of our locations or electronically if you live in an area of Arizona where we don’t have a store location that is convenient for you.
- Income: Provide basic documentation that demonstrates that you can repay the loan. If you are self-employed or get income from gig jobs, that is OK.
That’s the core of it. These are the Title Loan requirements that matter most. If something doesn’t check out, the process might slow down. But it doesn’t stop because we keep helping you until it’s fixed, and then, we can keep the process moving to loan approval and funding.
Top Reasons Title Loan Applications Get Stuck
Let’s look closer at what can cause delay and how to keep things moving.
1. Title Problems
This is the big one. It’s when your title isn’t in your name, still has a loan on it, is from another state, or your registration expired a long time ago. This means we’ll need to take some extra steps.
What to do: Take a look at your title or registration before you apply. Make sure it has your name, it’s paid off, and is current.
2. ID Issues
If your ID has expired or the name doesn’t match your title, it can throw a wrench in the process.
What to do: Check that your ID matches your title exactly. If your name recently changed or your ID expired, renew it first or bring the right backup.
3. Incomplete Online Forms
We see this all the time. Someone starts an application, uploads a couple of things, and forgets the rest. This can stall everything.
What to do: Before you hit submit, go back and double-check every section and all your information. Did you upload all the documents? Did you answer every question? Do you have any typos? If you’re not sure, call us and we’ll walk through it with you.
4. Vehicle Questions
We will need a quick look at the vehicle, or if you live outside of our service area, we can use pictures. Or perhaps the title shows joint ownership, which means more than one person needs to sign off.
What to do: Be upfront about shared ownership or anything unusual. It’s not a problem. We just need to make sure everything’s squared away before moving ahead.
What If You’re Refinancing a Title Loan?
Refinancing a Title Loan, also called a Buyout, can take a little extra work. But it’s worth it if you’re switching to lower rates.
Here’s what’s different:
- We’ll need to verify your current loan payoff balance with your current lender.
- We’ll contact your current lender to arrange the details for the payoff.
- Once that’s handled, we can move forward with the new loan and pay off your old account.
Any delay here usually comes from waiting on your old lender. You can help by having your loan account info handy, and then we can call them together to request a recent payoff amount.
At Cash Time, we know refinancing a Title Loan should be easy. We take care of the coordination, and everything moves faster and smoother when you’ve got those details ready.
