A warning against Randburg pawn and drive it schemes
For years, articles like this one from Daily Maverick have been warning South African consumers against pawn and drive it schemes.
These schemes put people at unacceptably high risk of losing their vehicles.
To avoid key requirements legislated under South Africa’s National Credit Act, pawn and still drive it schemes have come up with a “creative” solution. Here’s how they work:
- the lender “purchases” your car from you…and has the original registration papers and a signed sales agreement to show for it
- you are charged monthly rental in order to drive your own car
- at the end of the contract, the full “sale price” becomes due and must be settled in one lump sum; in other words, you have to buy back your vehicle
- if you miss even a single payment, your car may be tracked down and seized; you’ll have a hard time convincing anyone to take action on your behalf because the vehicle is no longer yours.
At Pawn My Car Randburg, this is not how we operate.
Our loans against cars
We offer conventional, short-term loan agreements that comply fully with the National Credit Act.
At no point do we ask you to sign over ownership of your car.
We don’t need credit ratings, proof of employment or other types of personal information to approve a loan. This is because our loans are asset-based. (It’s the value of your vehicle that secures the loan).
You hand over your vehicle as collateral for the loan term, and it is stored in a highly secure, access-controlled facility.
Once the loan and agreed interest have been repaid, your vehicle is returned to you in the same condition you left it (and still in your name).
