After the pawn ticket (pledge loan contact) has been read and signed by the borrower, the cashier will now release the amount stated in the pawn ticket and be reminded of its expiry date of redemption If not renewed (payment of accrued interest to extend the short term loan) on time.The pawnshop will issue new pawn ticket for renewal provided that the old ticket has been surrendered and paid the interest accrued upon. If a rower/ pawned Is unable to repay the short term loan plus the accrued Interest within 90 days, the pawnbroker will send a notification letter to the pawned. If the pawned didn't repay the loan or renew the interest rate within 30 days, the pawnbroker forecloses on the collateral and outs it up for auction.

Interest rate is issued every 30 days; e. Redeeming of collateral must not exceed in 90 days or else there will be an additional 2% penalty. If the pawned didn't show up within 90 days, the pawnshop will send a notification letter to the fawner's home address.
