Before you apply in Lagrange, a community of about 2,735, work through these steps:

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. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Look the lender up in the Indiana regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
