Before you apply in Martin

Before you hand your details to a lender in Martin, where the population is near 344:

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. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the Georgia regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
7. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
