The Hillsborough borrowing checklist

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Hillsborough (10,883 residents):

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. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Confirm the California 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. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

None of these steps is Hillsborough-specific: the same California licensing and disclosure rules reach all 10,883 residents.
