Times are hard and i know that no matter what you should never rob peter to pay paul but when you are in need of cash so bad that you would sell everything you got to feed your kids at that time you'll take what you can get and that why midwest title loan is there to take more of advantage of you by charging you a 300% intrest on a loan that they know you might be able to pay back.but it's cool i just want to let everyone else know that onless your about to be put out of your home like i was about to be do not go there for a loan your better off just selling your car.

Stop blaming the companies who lend and start blaming yourself because you are the one who took out the loan. You came to them, not the other way around.

Regardless of desperation, if you think it's so bad don't do it to begin with.

it's so irritating how everyone is first to blame someone else. Yeah they have high interest rates. So? You were fully aware of that. and if it weren't legal they wouldn't be allowed to practice such business.

Sorry you're mad you had to pay so much but that's your deal. they must not be too bad because they were there for you when you needed them.

Pay it off early.

You should have the right to pay the principal balance at any time and be done with the loan. The balance will be $615 or less. Try to borrow the money from a friend or family member. Or if you want to sell the car you can have the buyer pay off the loan for you as part of the deal.

In any case, pay more than $200 per month, a lot more.

Latasha, You need to just take that info to the District Attorney!

Latasha,

That is outrageous! You need to just take all of that information to the DA's Office for prosecution.

Also, see if one of the TV NEWS Investigative teams would be interested, as well as whomever regulates business there.

I think I might just let them have the title! Make them sue you for the possession of the car, and let them explain that kind of interest to a judge! I would love to see that!

Good luck, and thanks for the extra info.

300% Interest? Please post your figures!

Are you serious?

300% Interest? I doubt it.

An interest rate is usually based on an APR which means 300% interest would be 25% on the unpaid balance per month or 5.77% per week interest on the unpaid balance.

I think your state banking commission needs to know about this as they would clearly shut this operation down and make some arrests.

I would be interested in seeing the real numbers.
