A pledge is a guarantee given to a creditor equivalent to a repayment commitment. This guarantee comes in the form of a lien on an object which therefore becomes “pledged.” When purchasing a vehicle by financing (credit, long-term rental, leasing, etc.), the credit organization generally places a pledge on the vehicle to guarantee the repayment of the contracted loan. Therefore, the vehicle’s pledge is one of the financing conditions.
As contractual security, a car remains pledged for the duration of the financing until full repayment of the loan. Once the credit has been repaid, the financing organization proceeds to the lifting of the pledge allowing the registration of the vehicle in the name of the purchaser. We will explain on this page how to know the administrative situation of a vehicle, how to raise a pledge, and if it is possible to sell a pledged vehicle or you can find help (หาตัวช่วย which is the term in Thai) here.
