I filed for bankruptcy this past year because I had no choice.  Medical bills are eight times my annual income, so it’s hard to see any other way.  I now have definitive bad credit, no spare cash, and three children who saw half our belongings sold in a garage sale last summer.  That included the Christmas decorations that wouldn’t fit in our new, smaller apartment, and many of their toys. They were so good about it, and I think we all got a clearer idea of what we need versus what we want.

But I still want this Christmas to matter.  The kid’s grandma and cousins live in Spokane, a 420 mile drive with high gas prices.  The girls know not to expect any Hannah Montana or Wii stuff, but with no spare cash there aren’t a lot of options.  

I worked out what the priorities are, and decided $250 would still enable me to make it a special season – minimal decorations, gifts and a nice turkey dinner, perhaps a trip to Spokane.  I went online at work and googled for ways to do this. Last summer I saw a car title loan store on Burnside Street in Portland and thought about our Camry.  I didn’t want to go in that store, but online I looked for “loans with a car title” and found the fast cash we need for this holiday season.  Car Title Loans in Gresham is done entirely with an online application that gets you your money the next day.  

I applied right away.  With advance money, I can plan a smart budget for this Christmas season, buy items on sale and give our family a happy spirit that frankly wasn’t here most of the year.

Thank God I found Car Title Loans in Gresham. Seriously. I live with my Mom, and I take her to the train every day so that she can get to work. I have a car that’s already paid off, and she’s without a car at all - which is obvious, since I take her to the train every morning. Well the problem was that I just got engaged and I was about to move in with my fiance, but that would leave Mom without any transportation at all. How would she get to work? How would she go shopping? How would she get anywhere?

We tried getting loans to finance a newer car, and neither of us had enough money to purchase an older, used car. The two of us have horrid credit, so I knew there was no way anyone was going to give us a loan. Or at least that’s what I thought until I found my answer here, at Car Title Loans in Gresham.

I was searching around on the Internet for quick ways to get money and loans for people with bad credit, and it led me to this website. The online application was so easy, it took only a few minutes and I was approved in an hour. They even had someone assist me, which made it that much easier. I didn’t have to waste time at one of those small, shady looking stores I see everywhere on the strip. I had the cash in my bank account the next day! It was so easy, and we were able to get a used car for my Mom to take to the train and to just get around on her own.

I’m so glad I found out about Car Title Loans in Gresham, because they really saved our butt. I’d recommend them to anybody!

Don’t you just hate it when something unexpected happens? See, the thing is that I was making enough money, but with the way the economy is going they had to cut my hours. This was definitely something I wasn’t prepared for, in any way. I mean, AT ALL! They told me it was only a temporary thing, but you know how that is. I would have been fine, but a few weeks after that they had to let me go.

I started looking for a new job right away, but you know how hard that is to find sometimes. I started worrying about how I was going to pay my rent this month, and have food, and pay all my other bills. I called my parents for help, my cousin, and a few of my friends, but they didn’t have any extra money. They did offer me a place to stay, but I definitely didn’t want to move back home. I mean I’m in my thirties, that’s the last thing I want to do!

My cousin told me that he had used a car title loan company out in Texas where he lives. He told me I should try and find one in the Gresham area, because that’s where I live. He said some companies can even help you if you have bad credit or no credit at all.

I hopped on the Internet and started looking. I searched for things like “car title loans in Gresham - bad credit,” “fast cash in Gresham, Oregon,” “loans in Gresham,” and I found the website for Car Title Loans in Gresham. They had an online application that only took about ten minutes, and they even have someone assist you through the entire process. In about an hour I was approved, and they wired the money to my bank account the next day!

I no longer had to worry about how my rent was going to get paid and how I was going to eat, at least for another month or two. It definitely bought me some time to find a new job. Thank God I found these people, because I can say they honestly saved my butt!

I live in west Gresham and attend Mt. Hood Community College.    It’s about four miles, which seemed like a short enough distance that I should be able to do it by bicycle.  Except, I didn’t own a bike.  It was more concept than reality for me my whole freshman year. 

But when gas prices went so high this spring, I felt it was time.  I had my eyes on a $1200 Trek hybrid. But I had declared bankruptcy in 2005, so I had bad credit.  With no spare cash and no credit cards, I didn’t see how I could afford that bike.  Still, with so much money for gas and my car probably needing repair work soon I felt it was essential for me to have this alternative form of transportation (and exercise).

I Googled for “fast cash” and “student transportation loans” and “loans with car title.”  That’s how I found Car Title Loans in Gresham. The online application took me 20 minutes to complete, and I discovered even my 1999 Buick Regal was worth a $1800 loan.  I bought the Trek the next day and began my bike commute the day after that. In six months of biking, four days a week, I have killer legs, lost about ten pounds and I’ve saved more than $300 in gas.

I am really glad I did that right away.  It was the perfect reason to take out a loan, buying something I really wanted and knew I would use every day. I even use the bike for visiting friends, it’s such a great way to travel around.
