A pre-application checklist for Ben Lomond

- Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
- Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
- Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
- Look the lender up in the Arkansas regulator's licence records before you sign.
- Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
- Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
- Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
