We lost our house in foreclosure this year.  After some health problems that put me out of a job, there were no other options.  I sold our clothes, furniture, Christmas decorations and even toys in a garage sale in August.  There wouldn’t be room in our new apartment, and we needed the money just for moving expenses.  My kids handled it better than I did, I think. 

I’m determined to make this a good Christmas that starts off a better year.  With just a two or three hundred dollars, I could get a tree, a few gifts and maybe take them on a drive to visit family in Sacramento. But of course I have bad credit, so credit cards aren’t my answer anymore. Last week I saw a car title loan store on Jackson Street and thought about our Dodge van, paid for in full two years ago.  I didn’t go in, but decided to go online and search for “loan for my car title.” Oakland Car Title Loans is done entirely through their online application – it  takes 15 minutes to complete, no standing in line anywhere.  

Within 24 hours, the money was in my bank account.  That ended up being the fast cash I needed to buy decorations in a thrift shop for 10 percent of what you’d pay for them at WalMart or Target.

Money in hand can help you shop better.  Car title loan companies are a good option when there are no others.
