How does the auto pawnshop work

Cooperation with an auto pawnshop passes through the following stages:

• The client submits an application for a loan of money. The pawnshop considers the application, offers a scheme of loan repayment.
• The contract for a loan is formalized. As a pledge indicate the vehicle, which is in the ownership of the applicant.
• In the period of time specified in the contract, the vehicle is disposed of by the pawnshop. The car can be in the parking lot of the organization or the owner can continue to use it. This depends on the terms of the contract. If the car is in the parking lot of the pawnshop, no one uses it. It is sealed, the current mileage, the filling of the fuel tank and the technical condition of the vehicle are recorded.

If the borrower does not repay the loan, the pawnshop charges a fine for late payment. Subsequently, the organization sells the car auction. The money goes to repay the debt on the loan.
