TMX Finance is the parent company to the brands TitleMax, TitleBucks, EquityAuto Loan, and InstaLoan. The company holds more than 1,200 stores in over thirteen states including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. TMX Finance's brands serve individuals who generally have limited access to consumer credit from banks, thrift institutions, credit card lenders, and other traditional sources of consumer credit.

TitleMax markets easy cash to borrowers with "good credit, bad credit, or no credit" secured by the title to their car. In Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin - which have all passed lending laws - those loans have come with zero percent interest. After 30 days, however, the loan is due in full. If the borrower cannot pay -TitleMax's average loan is for $1,300 - the borrower is sent to another TitleMax location outside of the city, where he or she can receive a new, unrestricted loan. The borrower would be free to renew the loan at that location indefinitely. That loan, states a contract given to one borrower, could have an annual rate as high as 310 percent.

TMX is owned by Tracy Young of Savannah, Georgia.

Industry overview

Customers use the services provided by the alternative financial services industry for a variety of reasons, including that they often: do not have access to traditional credit-based lenders like banks, thrift institutions and credit card companies; have a sudden and unexpected need for cash due to common financial challenges like medical emergencies, vehicle repairs, divorce, job changes or other unexpected expenses; are self-employed small business owners with an immediate need for short-term working capital; need a small amount of cash immediately and do not have time to wait for a traditional lender to approve a loan; and see such services as a sensible alternative to potentially higher costs and negative credit consequences of other alternatives, such as overdraft fees, bounced check fees or late fees.

This industry has thrived on the use of arbitration clauses with class action waivers in their loan agreements. Every lawsuit filed against a company in this industry will be removed from court based on the arbitration clause. A borrower seeking relief will then have to arbitrate his or her case individually, and not as a class action. The industry has lobbied heavily for the deregulation of lending and lifting of usury laws.
