問題詳情
Pawn shops are businesses where people bring their possessions to sell or to get a short-term loan. The United States has about ten thousand of them. In the past few years, pawn shops have been doing business with more people than ever before. That is because many lenders now do business only with individuals having good credit ratings or a high-paying job. Often, the individuals most in need of a loan have poor credit ratings. But they do not need a good job or credit rating to get a loan from a pawnbroker. They only need something of value.When a traditional lender approves a loan, it may be days or weeks before an individual receives the money. But pawnbrokers will give a loan in just a few minutes based on the resale value of an object and without asking about the person’s job or credit history. Many pawn shops specialize in jewelry. But most shops accept almost anything of value, including computers, musical instruments, guns, old coins and other antiques. The item itself acts as the security, or collateral, for the loan. If the loan is not repaid, the object can be sold. Customers can get the object back -- called redeeming it -- at any time by repaying the loan plus the interest and fees they agreed to pay. Or they can pay the interest and leave the item at the pawn shop for a while longer.

典當行是人們帶來財物出售或獲得短期貸款的企業。美國有大約一萬人。在裡面過去幾年，典當舖一直在與更多的人做生意以前。這是因為現在很多貸款人只會與信用評級較高或薪酬較高的人做生意。通常，大多數人是英國人需要貸款的信用評級較差。但他們並不需要一份好工作或信用評級從當舖獲得貸款。他們只需要有價值的東西。當傳統的貸款人批准貸款時，可能需要幾天或幾個星期才能獲得貸款。但典當行將在少數幾家提供貸款分鐘基於對象的轉售價值而不詢問個人的工作或信用記錄。許多當舖專門從事珠寶。但大多數商店幾乎接受任何有價值的東西，包括電腦，樂器，槍支，古幣和其他古董。該項目本身充當貸款的擔保或抵押品。如果貸款沒有還清，則可以出售該物品。客戶可以獲取對象後退 - 稱為贖回 - 隨時償還貸款加利息以及他們同意支付的費用。或者他們可以支付利息並將物品留在當舖的時間更長一些。
