A practical checklist for Maywood borrowers

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Maywood, home to about 23,824 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the California licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
