A:
It doesn’t sound to me like you have any damages from the privacy breach. If TitleMax has any account numbers or passwords, they notified you so you can promptly change them.
Yes, you still have to repay the loan. Title loan companies are “lenders of last resort” meaning that the only people likely to get a title loan are those who do not have another choice. Defaulting on a title loan is not advisable.
