Release My Capital Car Pawn Loan Terms

Every car pawn loan agreement has a fixed term of 6 months, with the ability to settle early at any time with no penalty or make overpayments. There is absolutely no requirement to make a payment during the term of the loan, which can be beneficial for the borrower’s cash flow. Subject to underwriting and T&C’s, Release My Capital can offer our clients the opportunity to roll the loan over for a further 6 months without penalty.

No Credit Check Car Pawn Loans

Our client’s security and discretion are assured, and all personal information will always remain private and confidential. As Release My Capital is pawning a car, we do not require a credit report and nor do we report to any credit reference agencies or similar organizations. There will never be a record of the loan on our client’s credit file.

Release My Capital Are A Digital Lender And Offer A Simply 3 Step Process Top Completion

1. Virtual Appraisal & Initial Valuation

We complete the car pawn application online without the need for a home visit or the need to visit a high-street location. On receipt of our client's request to pawn their car, we will complete a real-time valuation. For Prestige Cars and Supercars valuations, we rely on CAP, widely recognised as the most accurate industry expert by car dealers, finance specialists, and motoring professionals nationwide. For our clients looking to pawn classic and vintage cars, we have a select network of industry experts that will review the vehicle, including key facts, as well as research the vehicle’s provenance, including original purchase documentation, service records, and private sale records, where applicable.

We then complete a vehicle inspection within an hour of the application on WhatsApp. The car inspection takes no longer than 10 minutes, and our client will receive an offer in principle – subject to a physical check and final valuation.

2. Physical Inspection

Release My Capital can provide a fully insured ‘white glove’ collection service throughout Great Britain, at an additional cost to discreetly collect our client’s vehicle in an unmarked transporter. Alternatively, our clients can deliver their car to our partner storage

Within minutes of receipt of the vehicle, we will start a detailed inspection to confirm the final valuation of the vehicle.

3 Final Valuation

On completion of the physical inspection, Release My Capital will confirm one of three possibilities:

1. Our valuation is as agreed. The loan is paid into the client's account in seconds.

2. We will issue a revised offer for our client’s approval.

3. [Were we are unable to lend] We will be returning your car to you.

The Release My Capital Commitment - To return the vehicle in the same condition in which we received it – or better

At Release My Capital we pride ourselves in providing the industry leading safe, secure, and full insured car storage. Whilst the vehicle is in storage, it will be subject to the utmost protection and specialist care

When our client’s vehicle arrives at our partner storage facility, a detailed documented and photographic inspection is done by our representative to determine its condition.

Further pre-storage preparation will include the car being hand washed, leathered, and allowed to fully dry and then placed on trickle charge and under cover for the duration of the storage. The type pressures may be adapted to the time in storage. On all classic & vintage vehicles, the bonnet and the underside are fully checked – but without the removal of any parts.

The Release My Capital Car Storage's partner storage facilities are fully insured against accidental damage and theft, and provide:

• Temperature-controlled indoor environment.
• Regular specialist maintenance checks, including engine start-ups and monthly tyre rotations.
• Specialist dehumidified space option on request and for an additional cost.
