A pre-application checklist for Cochrane

Before you apply in Cochrane, a community of about 419, work through these steps:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Wisconsin regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.

The process is identical across Wisconsin; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Cochrane holds 419 people.
