If you took out a loan at a pawnshop, you are probably wondering one very important question: how can I know when my pawn loan is due? When you don’t know exactly when your loan is due, you can create all kinds of problems for yourself. The first one is an additional fee. You will have to pay more to get your belongings back from the pawnshop. And, what if you can only pay the additional fees? You may end up in a cycle of paying fees until you can come up with enough money to pay back your loan. There is also the chance that you lose your belongings because you waited too long past the due date of the loan.
How can I know when my pawn loan is due? The question is easy to answer. The first way to know is by checking your pawn ticket. You loan’s due date should be printed clearly on your ticket. If by chance you lost your ticket, you can find out when your loan is due by contacting the shop directly via phone or email. There are some pawnshops that make it easy for you to check your loan status online. But, if that feature isn’t available, you’ll just have to make a phone call. If you’re afraid that an error may be made when you call to find out about your loan, you could just take the time to visit the shop and have another pawn ticket printed for you. By doing this, you will actually have written verification of your due date in the event you lost the original ticket.
Some pawn shops will send out mailings to you to notify you of an impending due date for your loan, so check your mail regularly. Shops may also use more modern methods of notifications, such as text alerts or push notifications through apps. But know that this all comes down to you. It’s your responsibility to know when your loan is due. So keep track of your loan and set money to the side so you can pay the loan off before it is due.
