The Herscher borrowing checklist

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Verify the lender's Illinois licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
6. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
7. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
