Do I Need a Co-signer for an Auto Title Loan?

Your first question about car title loans and a co-signer may be whether you will need one in the first place. This is common with personal loans, but title loans are different. In general, because car title loans are a secured loan, having bad credit history and a poor credit score is actually expected. 

Instead of focusing on what shows up on your credit report, lenders will focus on the value of the vehicle and income. And so, even without good credit, you could qualify for a car title loan. 

However, some people whose income requirements aren’t met, or are looking for better interest rates, or larger loan amounts, may consider asking a co-signer. 

Who Should I Ask About Being a Co-signer for a Car Title Loan?

There may be several options available when it comes to asking a person to be a co-signer for a car title loan, here are the most common options people turn to: 

• parents 
• grandparents 
• extended family members 
• close friends and/or mentors 
• A spouse 

Before being added to the loan, these co-signer should know exactly what kind of situation they are getting into. This includes the monthly payments of the loan, the interest rates, the repayment terms/loan terms, and any other loan information provided to you by the lender for this new loan. To qualify as a co-signer, they will need to have good or excellent credit. 

Consider the Implications Co-signers and Car Title Loans

Before adding a co-signer to your loan, it is important to consider what that really means. 

When a co-signer is added to a loan, they essentially become a co-borrower. And so, when the primary borrower (you) makes late payments or doesn’t follow through with repayment, the co-signers credit can also be impacted!

Additionally, if you cannot repay the loan, the co-signer will be responsible for the entirety of the loan payments including any late fees, interest, and refinance fees if applicable. 

And so, when you do add a co-signer make sure that you will be able to make on-time payments, as is can have a massive impact on another person. 

What to Think About When Becoming a Co-signer, Yourself! 

When someone else asks you to cosign on a car title, here are a few things to keep in mind: 

• you will be responsible if a borrower defaults on the loan. 
• you never have to give in if you feel uncomfortable. 
• ask for transparency and honesty from the primary borrower. 
• only cosign with someone you trust with your finances. 
• Review the details of the loan application, and loan agreement yourself. 
• Ask for constant updates. 
• Your credit rating may be in jeopardy.
