How Can I Get Money If My Credit Card Was Declined?

You have to make an important purchase or pay for an emergency expense. You don’t have any cash, so you pay with your credit card. Just as you think that everything’s going to be okay, the cashier turns to you and says, “Credit card declined.”

Now, you have to find another way to raise emergency money. But when you have experienced a credit card decline, you may have trouble getting a loan through traditional means.  

Credit Card Declined—And The Impact On Your Credit Score

Barring extraneous circumstances like fraud, the only reasons that your card could be declined are that you’ve reached your credit limit, or your cardholder has blocked some of your available credit until you have cleared your remaining balances.

It may also mean that you have missed payments, and the credit card company is requiring you to settle some of the bill before you can access new credit.

Unfortunately, your card provider isn’t just going to stop at declining your credit card. It will likely report this to the credit bureaus, which will lower your credit score. So, if you go to the bank to get a personal loan, you may also be turned away because of your recent borrower history.

Banks Will Say No, So Where Do You Go?

So, your credit card was declined, and your bank loan was denied… but you still have options left! You can apply for an online title loan. The application and approval process takes just one day, so it can help cover urgent expenses as conveniently and efficiently as swiping a card.

Title loans let use your vehicle title as collateral or security for the loan. You can apply even if you have a bad credit score (so don’t worry about your credit card being declined), and you won’t be asked about your income or employment.

How To Qualify For A Title Loan

The only requirement is that you are the legal owner of the vehicle with a lien-free title. Essentially, that means:

  • Your name is on the vehicle title. To verify this, you will also have to present a valid government-issued ID with a photo. The name on the title and the ID have to match completely. If the title is under someone else’s name, or if there is any kind of variation in your name because of a clerical error or change in surname, you will have to go to the DMV to have it transferred or revised.
  • You own the vehicle outright. If you are still paying off your car loan, then the bank still has a lien or legal claim on it until you complete all the payments.
  • You are not using the title as collateral for other loans. You can’t have multiple liens on a single property.
  • The title is not involved in any court judgments. Courts can place a judgment lien on a property if it is part of a dispute or lawsuit.
