The Easton borrowing checklist

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Easton (302 residents):

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Check the Illinois regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
7. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
