I’m from Iowa, so I think I take a pretty level headed approach to life’s problems, ESPECIALLY since I moved to the Chicago area. Part of that approach is to think creatively, beyond your preconceived notions.
I live and worked (past tense) in Lake Forest. But first I lost my job. Then my Saab Turbo needed a new transmission. Breathe deep, I said, better times are coming. And I did find a new job – in Naperville. Suddenly I was the kind of commuter you read about in the paper, spending hours each day in my car.
Note the job didn’t come for six months, which put a crimp on money overall. But in Iowa, we suck it up and do what we gotta do. No different in Chicago (and the North Shore).
One additional little problem. Because I was out of work so long I had bad credit and nothing left on the cards. So much for spotless credit rating management all those years earlier. Cow pies happen.
This is where thinking outside the box kicked in. I turned to Chicago Title Loans. I never before considered those no credit check car title loans, but in this situation it made sense. My four year old car still had a good blue book value, so this is where I could use it to cover the car repairs.
I also avoided going downtown to some scary storefront operation. I just filled out an online application from my Mac. You just sign on, answer questions, click and send – done in about 20 minutes. Talk about fast cash – I was able to pay the repair shop the very next day. Through instant car title loans, you can manage a car problem with a car title – now if only I could find a magic way to take care of traffic on the 294.
