What to do before borrowing in Alsip

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Alsip (18,198 residents):

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Look the lender up in the Illinois regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
7. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
