The Luther borrowing checklist

Before you apply in Luther, a community of about 315, work through these steps:

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. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the Michigan regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.

In Luther as elsewhere in Michigan, the written terms — not the advertisement — are what count for its 315 residents.
