When my wife died while giving birth to our second child, I was lost, confused, depressed, and inconsolable. But really the biggest problem that I faced was the financial hardships in the coming months. Stacy had been the rock of our family, and I didn’t know what I was going to do without her support and leadership.

Not only was she gone, but I now had another child to raise on my own. While I wasn’t exactly broke, I was certainly not rich, I needed some quick cash and didn’t think that I’d be able to get it. There was no way I could get that money from a bank, my credit wasn’t stellar, and the only thing I owned was my SUV.

The solution I found was to take out a car title cash loan. Houston Car Title Loans helped me so much, they made it very easy to get my questions answered. The online application was easy, plus gave me a loan of $6,000 to cover my bills, and put some cash in my pocket.

Houston Car Title Loans get my vote as someone you want to do business with. I don’t know where I would be without them.

When Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, it took a few days to see how extensive the damage was.  As it turns out, the loss of property and human life was enormous.  But it also meant a business opportunity for many of us looking for work in this bad economy.

I own a pickup truck, a Chevy, and usually I’m helping friends and family move things with it.  I can’t tell you how man trees I helped my brother-in-law plant, saving the charges he’d otherwise get from the nursery.  The funny thing was, Ike hit after a summer of no work for me (got laid off in April) and mounting bills at home that threw us into the “bad credit” category.

But I heard about work I could get in areas going through storm rescue and recovery.  They need pickup trucks like mine to haul working appliances and salvageable furniture to storage, work that doesn’t make sense for bigger trucks.  That’s work I could do, and a cousin of mine is in the business doing that.

The good part is the work pays well. But there’s a lag time until you get paid.  They make you wait on insurance claims, and you’re a subcontractor to a subcontractor, so you are at the bottom of the food chain.  So sometimes you work eight or ten weeks before you see the money.  It pays well, worth the time and travel.   But with bad credit and lots of bills to pay, I worried how we’d get by.

Houston Car Title Loans was my personal finance FEMA, so to speak.  They have an online application form that takes no more than 15 minutes to complete.  With an auto title loan company, there is no credit check.  It’s fast — enough to cover my expenses at home while I work seven days a week helping people get their lives back together.

A fire had really damaged our house, and I was really in need of some money. Not only was our kitchen virtually destroyed due to smoke and fire damage, there was water damage through half the house due to the firemen and their heroic actions. Everyone got out ok, which is the most important thing, but now we needed to find someplace to live until our house got fixed.

Although insurance would eventually take care of the damage, we needed money now. Neither of us had any relatives to stay with down here, so our first priority was to find a hotel, preferably with kitchen facilities, so we wouldn’t have to eat out every evening.

The only thing I had that was of any significant value was my new SUV. Luckily, I it was relatively new, so I was able to go Houston Car Title Loans, and get a loan for 4 thousand dollars, to at least take care of the essentials, put some food on our plates, and pay for a place to stay until the insurance company did their thing.

I really don’t know what I would have been able to do if it wasn’t for Houston Car Title Loans, as I had hardly anything in savings, and my credit isn’t the best, so the bank probably wasn’t an option.
