A practical checklist for Harrison borrowers

Before you apply in Harrison, a community of about 30,780, 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. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the New York regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.

In Harrison as elsewhere in New York, the written terms — not the advertisement — are what count for its 30,780 residents.
