Examples show an amortized 12-month supervised loan at Indiana’s maximum permitted finance charge under IC 24-4.5-3-508 — the greater of the tiered rate (36% per year on unpaid balances up to $2,000, 21% from $2,000 to $4,000, and 15% above $4,000) or 25% per year. Because the tiers apply to the unpaid balance, the effective rate rises as the loan is paid down. Actual offers, terms and fees vary by lender.

Yes, you can apply with bad credit. Title loans in Indianapolis, IN are designed for borrowers who cannot access traditional bank financing due to poor credit. Approval is based primarily on your vehicle’s market value and your ability to repay, not your credit history.
Yes, you can pay off early without penalty. Indiana’s consumer credit code includes rebate-on-prepayment provisions that protect borrowers from prepayment charges. Paying your loan off before the scheduled end date reduces the interest that accrues and lowers your total repayment amount.
