The Letts borrowing checklist

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Letts (354 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
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. Check the Iowa regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
6. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
7. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
