A pre-application checklist for Aurora

For Aurora's roughly 166 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Look the lender up in the Iowa regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
7. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.

The process is identical across Iowa; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Aurora holds 166 people.
