The Como borrowing checklist

For Como's roughly 62 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
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 North Carolina regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
6. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
7. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
