A practical checklist for Hephzibah borrowers

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Hephzibah (3,815 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Check the Georgia regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
