The Hillsboro borrowing checklist

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Hillsboro (1,641 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the North Dakota regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

The process is identical across North Dakota; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Hillsboro holds 1,641 people.
