Steps to take before a Hope loan

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Hope (2,144 residents):

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Indiana regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
6. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
7. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.

The process is identical across Indiana; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Hope holds 2,144 people.
