The Gould borrowing checklist

For Gould's roughly 632 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the Arkansas licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

In Gould as elsewhere in Arkansas, the written terms — not the advertisement — are what count for its 632 residents.

What a Gould borrower is actually offered

A Gould personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 632 residents. A lender serving Gould's 632 residents must disclose the APR and finance charge in writing before you sign. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost of a Gould loan is knowable in advance — unlike a revolving card balance.
