Steps to take before a Glassport loan

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Glassport (4,301 residents):

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Pennsylvania regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
