Sell-By-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does Sell by Drive mean?
If you cannot access a loan due to a poor credit score, Sell by Drive is a great option to get money paid into your account. As long as you have a paid up vehicle that is in your name, you can place the car as collateral. This is done similarly to a secure loan.
