For Litchville's roughly 165 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:
- Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.

- Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
- Look the lender up in the North Dakota regulator's licence records before you sign.
- Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
- If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
- Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
