A pre-application checklist for Jewett

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Jewett, home to about 196 people:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Illinois licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
7. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
