Car Title Loans Are Not Legal in Michigan

Vehicle title loans are not available in Michigan.

Vehicle title loans are not separately authorized in Michigan. There is no title-loan enabling statute; consumer lending is governed only by the general Michigan Regulatory Loan Act (MCL 493.1 et seq.), and traditional high-cost title lending is not permitted. Title loans are therefore effectively prohibited in Michigan.

If You Are Offered a Car Title Loan in Michigan

Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS)

Michigan law does permit other forms of consumer credit, including personal installment loans (governed by MI Comp L § 493.2 (2025)) and payday loans (governed by MCL § 487.2153). Those are separate products with their own licensing and rate rules, and nothing on this page is an offer of a car title loan in Michigan.

Federal Consumer Protections for Installment and Payday Loan Borrowers

In addition to state law, six federal laws protect consumer loan borrowers in every state. These apply regardless of where you borrow or which type of loan you take.

Federal LawWhat It Means for YouWho It Covers
Truth in Lending Act / Regulation ZRegulation Z protects consumers by requiring clear disclosure of key credit terms and costs.Applies to consumer credit including mortgages, credit cards, and installment loans.

CFPB UDAAP authorityThe CFPB can take action against unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices in consumer financial products or services.Applies to all consumer financial products and services.

These federal protections apply in all 50 states regardless of state law. They set a baseline floor of consumer rights.

Truth in Lending Act (TILA) / Regulation Z: Before you sign, your lender must provide a written disclosure showing the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total of payments, and payment schedule. Review these figures carefully — they represent your full cost of borrowing.
Notice for Active-Duty Service Members and Dependents: The Military Lending Act (MLA) caps the total cost of this loan at a 36% Military Annual Percentage Rate (MAPR). Creditors may not require mandatory waivers of consumer protection laws, require submission to arbitration, or charge prepayment penalties. Learn about MLA rights. Statute: 10 U.S.C. § 987.

Federal Payday Lending Rules That Apply in Michigan

Federal regulations, such as those from the CFPB and the Military Lending Act, apply in addition to state laws, providing an additional layer of consumer protection.

CFPB Payday Rule — repeat withdrawal attempts: The CFPB issued a regulation adopting a two-strikes-and-you’re-out rule for covered lenders. Under that rule, after two tries to withdraw money from a borrower’s account have failed, covered lenders can’t try again unless the borrower specifically authorizes another attempt. Effective March 30, 2025. Read the CFPB payday rule.

Michigan Installment Loan Rules: FAQ

Are personal installment loans legal in Michigan?

Yes. Personal installment loans are legal in Michigan and regulated under MI Comp L § 493.2 (2025). Lenders must hold a state license to make these loans. A licensed lender has to follow the state's limits on rates, loan size and fees, and disclose your APR, finance charge and full payment schedule before you sign.

What is the maximum APR on a personal installment loan in Michigan?

In Michigan, the maximum rate on a personal installment loan is 25% per annum under MI Comp L § 493.2 (2025). That is a ceiling, not a quote: your actual APR depends on the loan amount, the term and the lender, and it must be disclosed in writing before you sign.

Is there a prepayment penalty on installment loans in Michigan?

There can be. Michigan law permits a lender to charge a prepayment penalty on a personal installment loan under MI Comp L § 493.2 (2025), within statutory limits. Not every lender charges one, so ask for the prepayment terms in writing before you sign if you expect to repay early.

What fees can an installment lender charge in Michigan?

Michigan caps loan fees separately from interest under MI Comp L § 493.2 (2025). Origination fee: 5% of principal; max $250. Late fee: late charges permitted by the credit reform act. Anything a lender charges beyond these has to be itemised in your agreement, so compare the total finance charge and not just the advertised rate.

Can you refinance an installment loan in Michigan?

Michigan sets specific rules for refinancing a personal installment loan under MI Comp L § 493.2 (2025): shall not induce or permit a person to become obligated under more than 1 loan contract not secured by personal property at the same time for the purpose of obtaining a loan processing fee. It also restricts repeat refinancing, or loan flipping: shall not induce a person to become directly obligated under more than 1 loan contract not secured by personal property at the same time. Refinancing restarts the interest on a new balance, so confirm the new total cost before agreeing to one.

Are title loans legal in Michigan?

No. Title loans are prohibited in Michigan, and no licensed lender may offer one to a resident of Michigan. See the "Car Title Loans Are Not Legal in Michigan" section on this page for what the law says and where to report a lender. Governing law: MCL 493.13 (Michigan Regulatory Loan Act).

Are payday loans also legal in Michigan?

Yes. Alongside installment lending, Michigan permits payday loans under MCL § 487.2153. A payday loan there is capped at $600 and a term of up to 31 days. Rollovers are not permitted. A payday loan is a single lump-sum repayment tied to your next pay date, which makes it a different and usually far more expensive product than an installment loan repaid over months.
