What is a Pawn Loan?
A pawn loan is the cash loan that a consumer gets to exchange personal property stored with the pawnbroker until the customer redeems the merchandise according to the terms agreed upon or the pawn contract defaults.
As mentioned in Article 7, Mississippi Pawnbroking Act, once a pawn loan is processed, the consumer has 30 days (from the date of a pawn) with a 30 day grace period to pick the merchandise with the principal's payment and final charge. If you cannot redeem your item, you also have the option of paying the service charge only that extends the loan to another 30 days. If the loan is not paid well in time, including the interest, the pawnbroker can legally sell the item that was put up for collateral.
It is to be noted here that the item is not up for sale during the loan period. (Items that are not redeemed will become bargains for the other customers). Also, of pawning, items can be sold directly to the Pawn Shop.
