What to do before borrowing in Norman

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Norman, home to about 98 people:

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. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the North Carolina regulator's licence list.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.

In Norman as elsewhere in North Carolina, the written terms — not the advertisement — are what count for its 98 residents.
