Logbook loans attract high interest rate, more than the normal loan. If you are not careful, you will lose your car. The best thing to do is to put money into good use where you are sure of getting a profit to repay the loan. You should also repay the loan as soon as possible because the more you delay the higher the interest on the loan.
