I had a name change in between the process of me purchasing my vehicle and the time that I put in the loan. I needed ID, the bank account that the money was gonna be sent into, and the title of the car. But on top of that, I also had to bring my divorce decree to show that my name was changed. Both of the reps that I dealt with were great. The first one started the process but unfortunately, it was time for her to clock out. But I understand because I’m a parent too, and she had to get her kid from after care and it was starting to run late. Because of the divorce decree and the name change, the process took a little bit longer than it normally does. So I was absolutely fine with her passing me over to the second young lady that helped me. But they were both very nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. They did what they needed to do to help me secure the loan.

When I was sitting down, they were telling me all the options that I had and how much I was able to get. They gave me tips to be able to use this loan to better my credit. At first, I was just gonna take a very minimum $700 out but ended up doing the full amount because as long as I make that monthly payment to renew the loan, it was gonna build my credit, based on what they said. So it went from being a very short term to I’m gonna use it as a little bit of a longer term. In the long run, it’s gonna improve my quality of life because of the fact that I’ll have a better credit score. So the loan is gonna help me a lot.

    When I first walked in, it was nothing but friendly. The representative at TitleMax, Toni, did a very good job of establishing rapport with me. We talked a little bit and she went over what it was. She was very informative. She told me she was new, so she was gonna go a little slow, which was fine with me. They had told me at the beginning that I might have to download an app to make payments. It got to the end of it and she said, "Let's go ahead and download that app." I told her, "I don't want to do that." The manager came over and said, "No, you have to. You can't walk out of here without downloading the app." It rubbed me the wrong way because I know for a fact that it's not in the contract that I have to. He was flamboyant and liked to say, "My dear, my dear."

    He walked off and sat at his desk while Toni was finishing up with me. He told her, "That's fine. If she doesn't want to, then we just can't take her payments over the phone. She's going to have to come in in person." It was retaliatory. I understand the function of that account. It's for me to be able to view my account, make my payments, etc. But all I was going to do was go home and do it because I wanted to read it. I didn't want to do it right there.

    While I was going through the paperwork, Toni said, "Don't worry about it. I'm going to print it out at the end." That was fine because I knew what I was agreeing with. She explained it to me very well. I wasn't too worried about the actual fine print because it's all legalities. But in the end, all I got was the finance sheet - the one that says what the loan is, how much the interest is, what the payments are, etc. I didn't get the contract.

    When I talked to the district manager, they called me back right away. She was very friendly. She said she understood. She said that the "my dear" part was just his personality and that he's a very good manager. I believed her because he seemed very dedicated but I told her that it was inappropriate because he doesn't know me and there should be a certain level of professionalism.

    I found something was next to me. I called the young lady. Her name was Brittany. She was a nice, warm girl. She explained to me everything in the phone, and I went in and got it done. She was a very helpful woman. What they asked me for the title loans was my driver license, job history, Social Security, where I lived at, and how much I get paid every two weeks or weekly, and that was it. I filled out the applications in the computer. And they asked me how much I wanted, I put it there, and I would get approved for whatever they tell me that I am approved of. The rep took a lot of pictures of my vehicle, and took my title. She submitted all of the pictures to the people that she was supposed to send them. It was easygoing.

    But for some reason, whoever processed it in the computer did not follow it through. It sat for almost three hours. Brittany even tried to push it through and talked to those people. But they had some kind of computer issue. And the man said he would do it manually. Because I needed it, I sat down and waited. But business-wise, they should have a faster service, so people don’t have to spend three to four hours in the office.

    The young girl was nice and tried her best to do everything that she could. She was by herself. It was on Saturday. And there were two of us that she was helping. And with the two of us, none of us was approved until like hours and hours later. At the end of the day, we got it done. So, it's okay to me. The young lady said, “I apologize. Normally, it do not take this long, but I don't know what's going on.” She was a very sweet young lady. It has taken three hours out of my time on my day off, but at the end of the day, it's helpful because we need it.

    I needed emergency money so I did a car title loan with TitleMax. My rep was really good and the process took 45 minutes. I was pretty much prepared because I called in. I took everything with me when I went there just in case such as my Social Security and a copy of my lease. The rep right away did my paperwork. Right when I was about to walk on, she said she got an approval.

    She told me, she was, “This is the day you will have to pay. And if you don't, you can just pay this much. And you can just pay it with your debit card. Instead of coming by the office, you can do it on your app, or call us... If you want to pay everything off, this is the amount. But if you come in the office, we’ll give you your title right there. But if you do it over the phone and pay everything off, you have to wait about three days. And then you can come pick up your title.”

    There was only one thing I was confused about. You tell them this is how much you need then you get approved for a higher amount. For example, they approved me for 1,750 and I only needed 1500. It says that I have 200 cash and I don't know what they do with the other money. I don't know if I was able to use it or not. That aside, I’m gonna refer TitleMax to some people because I have friends that really need money. I had a good experience in getting things done and they didn't charge me much.

    The TitleMax offices here have to have your proof of income. I lost my job a few months ago and I just started working again. I haven't gotten my first paycheck from my new job, so I don't have that proof of income yet. I was really scared and discouraged when I went to the first TitleMax office. The rep said, "No, ma'am. Don't fret. We have another office. It's right outside the city limits. They do not go by proof of income because that's only because we're inside the city limits." Once she told me that, it was like a weight was lifted off my chest. My rent was due before I get my first check, and I was really concerned about whether or not we were going to be able to cover rent this month. The rep sent us out to the other office that's just right outside the city limits, and they helped me a lot.

    I try not to get my hopes up because I've been told no so many times lately. We're struggling and we wouldn't take the title loan out otherwise. When I went into the office, the reps were very friendly. I had to take my ID, and we had to bring the vehicle so they could get pictures of our vehicle and the title. They're holding my title. The lady that helped us was extremely informative and it went very smoothly compared to what I went in there expecting to experience. It was a breath of fresh air and I was very pleased. The process was almost an hour but the paperwork was very speedy. It took 20 minutes tops. Most of the time we were there, the lady was getting pictures. She had to get a lot of pictures of the vehicle. I would tell my friends to go to TitleMax and to go to the one we went to.

    I applied for a title loan at the TitleMax in Columbia Mo. A young man named Brandon was the one that waited on me. He was very helpful and personable. He talked to me like a real person which made the experience less painful and made the time go by very fast. He was also very informative and made sure I understood everything. I would definitely suggest to friends and family to go to TitleMax.

    TitleMax had the best rating. I wish I was able to be qualified for a little bit more, but it was good. The rep was wonderful, very helpful and very professional. She even offered me water and coffee. The hospitality was on point. I had a wonderful experience. If you own your vehicle and you need money right away, TitleMax is a good place to go. They work with you. They make you feel comfortable.

    I needed the license, title, and the deed of sale when I took out a car title loan from TitleMax. The whole process took longer than usual because the car was owned by somebody else, but they fixed it. After they fixed it, it didn't take long after that. The rep was really helpful and had good customer service. She did it as quick as she could, let me know throughout the process what was going on, and that they were trying to fix it. She was trying to do everything she can to help me. So, she did a great job.

    Working with them has helped. My rep was very nice and she took her time with us. We didn't know how to do something on the computer and she came back and helped us. Give them a try. Don't make it your last resort. You're guaranteed.

    The people from TitleMax were very kind and very courteous. I just had to bring in my title and license. They had to take pictures of the car and kind of get it appraised on how much they could give me. So, it was very straightforward.
