The Dawson borrowing checklist

Before you apply in Dawson, a community of about 145, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Verify the lender's Nebraska licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
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.
