TitleMax RIP OFFS` Bennettsville South Carolina

I took out a loan on my 2001 Chevy Prizm appr. 1 1/2 yrs. ago at TitleMax located in Bennettsville, SC. I was in need of Christmas money since I am on SS Disability and my medical expenses had piled up on me. The loan was for $600. When I saw the contract I was appalled to see that I had to repay $2000 back, yet my need was so great I actually felt I had no other option at the time because I was maxed out with my other loan companies.

I paid $85 each month until the bill was down to appr. $350. Even though my payment wasn't due until the 25th of the month I paid it either on the first or the third of same month the payment was due in order not to be late.

In June of 2015 I was 2 weeks late. I tried explaining to the lady why I was late but she rudely informed me that when I came in for a payment that I had BETTER bring 2 payments. I told her I shouldn't be paying such a large interest rate in the first place but I was informed that I knew what I was signing in the first place!  A day later (before I could even try to get my money up, my car was repossessed! I feel this was done for 2 simple reasons: The contract was almost paid off and because I made them mad with the conversations above.

Now I don't have any transportation to my doctors, pharmacies, grocery stores, or anywhere else. This is TOTALLY unfair. I was given an option of paying the entire remaining balance before they auctioned it off a week later. Again, I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to do that.  The sad part is: the car has been in the shop for 2 months because I couldn't afford to get it fixed! I was still making my loan payments even though I couldn't drive the car. I told them this but they couldn't have cared less.\

I am advising my friends and neighbors to NEVER get wrapped up in a car title loan. They will wait until your loan is almost paid off and hope you miss a payment so they can get your vehicle for THEIR PROFIT!
