I paid my loan off in full 6 months ago and I still yet to receive my title contacted the office on several occasions and was informed it was in the mail. Since I never received my title I contacted the regional office where i was told that they had the wrong address and that i would be receiving it in a week well now its been another month and a half and i still yet to receive my title don't trust this company they do nothing but lie and if i don't receive it soon next step is contact a lawyer to receive it this has gone to far so don't take a chance they may never issue your title back to you. Also You pay a lot more money than its worth I paid $120 on this loan for over a year and only borrowed $600 and still had to pay $400 to get my title back and yet still have not received it this is the truth i urge you to look away and not to ever use this company they will screw you.

What happens if my vehicle is stolen or is involved in an accident?

If your vehicle should become totaled in an accident or stolen while your title is being held as collateral, you keep your money, and if you don't have collision insurance, TitleMax gets nothing.

If you look on TitleMax website you will find this question and answer they wrote themselves, however there have been known Managers who tell customers otherwise. It works like this Managers get bonus for there stores each month so some tend to tell customers whatever it takes to get them to pay, although it clearly says this on TitleMax website you will hear Managers harrass customers by calling them still trying to collect even when they tell them their car is wrecked and didnt have insurance coverage.

If more customers read Titlemax website or demanded to talk with corporate most of these Managers would be held accountable for their actions.

My Family moved to Dallas Georgia due to financial difficulty we needed to borrow $1500. A friend told us about Titlemax of course, we thought at the time it would be a good idea to pawn the title of our 1999 Toyota Camry. We did the loan was $1800, that we would pay $235 every month for 12 months wich would be a total of $2820 very high but at the time we really werein a financial crisis. We made our 1st payment July 2007 then so forth, we decided to move back to Florida which we advised them it was ok and we were paying on time. January 2008 we moved to Florida still making our monthly payment, In July 18th we were watching TV around 1 AM in the morning we heard a loud noise in the parking lot we looked outside sure enough our car was beeing towed. We ran outside the only thing the Tow truck driver can tell us we are beeing repo. I call the Police they told me that I need to call titlemax, I waited until 9AM Sharp to call spoke to the Rude, Unprofessional Manager (Terry) he could not even tell why my car was towed I was very upset, I was tired of their rubbish we argue on the phone for a good 20 minutes but he still could not give me a straight answer. I lastly ask him how much do I still owed he had the nerve to tell me that in order for them to release my car I need to $2210.72 don't forget about the $235 a month for 12 months I already paid. I told him no problem I will pay it, as a so call manager he told me I need to send the money Western Union, I ask him do they have another way that they can get their money. He just hung up the phone. I managed to put the money on a friend account and she went to take the money to them that same day of the 18th late very late I got my car back. Here's the Scammers address 5739 Wendy Bagwell Parkway Suite 101 Hiram Georgia 30141 (678)567-5231. Now I am waiting for my title when I called Terry he had the nerve to tell me how come I had the money now to pay after they had to repo the car, like I explain to him on the phone. I will make sure they get fix, Voodooooooooooooooooooo does exist specially where I am from. It is very hard in the USA to make it, and you go about robbing people like that, who would want to borrow $1800 and pay back $5000. They are so unprofessional talkig to them is like wasting your time and energy, they just want your money and that's it. I know the system won't do anything to them, and they also know it, but guess what you really have customers from every where that does not believe in the justice system here. Please I would advice anyone that needs a loan please don't use Titlemax they are a bunch of crooks, the face they give you on when you go take the loan is not the same face that you talk to when you have to make payment... I am glad I paid them off, so when I get home this summer I will make sure I send the spirit of (Agarou- Bosou- Saint Jacques) after Terry Lacy, and who ever the hell the CEO of the company. It makes no kind of sence how someone can take a loan the more you pay the principal balance never decrease you pay interest for 1-2-3 years. And when they call you they talk to you like you are dumb and stupid, they always tell you if you are going to be late call them they will work with sure enough when the day come they giving you hell on the phone.

It is everyones responsibilty to READ the contract, be a man or woman of your word (pay your BILLS) and you would not have to go to Titlemax. What if title Max wasn't there? Then What? If it wasn't for title loan companies, where would consumers go to get emergency money? I assume most have BAD CREDIT or they would go to normal financal institutions ! I'm sure you had a SMILE on your face when you received that check! The Government can't bail you out of EVERYTHING ! :-)

This is for the person who first posted the comment, If you have not got your title yet just go to courthouse and apply for a lost title. Titlemax can give you a lien release form and take it to courthouse and get you a new title. This is not that hard.

TITLE MAX the company and the employees are a bunch of scumbags and legal thieves

I worked for titlemax in the Savannah, Ga. area. What happens is when people come in to borrow money they do not here anything except how much they are getting and to pay every month. The loan is like having a credit card, if you will. Titlemax gives you the opportunity to pay the loan off without interest within the first 30 days, after that you are charged an interest rate, which is explained, you can pay a minimal payment each month which only pays the interest, which is explained, anything over the minimal amount pays down the loan. If all you ever pay is a few dollars over it will take forever. That is why, when you take out the loan you are given a paper that shows you at the time how much you need to pay each month to pay it off within a certain time frame. So, in support of Titlemax who lends people money who are in crisis without checking their credit, you know what has to be done before you leave... if you didnt like you did not have to accept the money. Also, I witnessed numerous customers calling and working out arrangments with the managers for help. Love em when you need them and hate them when you cant hold up to your end of the deal..

Does anyone have a corp0rate phone number? I am having issues with the title max I took a loan out with. I pay my bills, im just a little behind at the moment. I told them on Friday that I was a little behind but I would be in the next Thursday. So what the hell do they do, call me on monday while I am at work and when I couldnt answer my cell phone, they proceeded to call everyone on my list. I just talked to them on friday, and only 1 time that they have ever called me and I couldnt answer. They didnt even give me time to call them back, which is what i was getting ready to do when i started getting calls and texts from all the references on my list. Now the manager is being rude as hell and told me to find a way to just pay them off, i just got the loan, this is only my 2nd payment, 1st was before time, this one is only a week late. So, does anyone have a corporate number that I could call so that I can make a complaint, even if it does no good at all, at least I made a complaint. Thanks for any help!!

Title Max preys upon those who are in need of cash...they are legal loan-sharks. Period. Beware when you deal with a loan-shark you will most likely get bit.

Fact - In Tennessee they cannot touch your vehicle for 31 days from your last due date...use this to your advantage.

Fact - Their motto is " a late paying customer, is still a paying customer"...Regional managers, District managers and store managers get a monthly bonus based on store profit, which is affected by collections at the end of the month. Calling the "800" # (plainly posted in each store) will get you a call from the district manager and one a one time relief opportunity.

Fact - In Tennessee the APR is over 158%...think about that before you go in to do a loan!

They will steal your money and then your vehicle...legally.
