North Carolina. I have a title loan in NC. The loan originated in SC because that was the only place that I could find that would do title loans. After I realized how high my interest rate was, I found someone to take it over. This new company FINALLY has my title after fighting with them for a year and now I need to know if title loans are even legal in the state of NC because I am being told they are not and they have to treat them as a personal loan. Does this mean that they can not come and take my car? I really need to know. i am having a hard time with this company and money it very tight and I can not afford for my car to be taken so I need to know if title loans are even legal or if they can send me back my title since I have not signed it over to anyone they just have it. Please let me know as soon as possible. I am paying on it but money is tight and I pay what I can. Help!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

What your have is a collateral loan. You put your vehicle up for collatoral to borrow money. It is perfectly legal in your state.

If you default, they can come and take the car if you have used it as collateral.

No what I have is a title loan weather it is collateral or not it is still a title loan and is not leagl in this state. Title loans are not legalized, I was told is is loan sharking and they can not do it. They would have to use my loan as a personal loan not use the car. They just don't call it title loans so they can get away with it? I highly doubt that.
