For example, a title loan may cost $25 per $100 loan for a 30-day period. This equates to an annual interest rate of 300%, and the short-term due date for the entire loan plus the fee usually forces the borrower to take out back-to-back loans.

If the borrower does not pay off the loan when it’s due, the lender can take possession of the borrower’s vehicle.
