The Paden City borrowing checklist

Before you apply in Paden City, a community of about 2,408, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the West Virginia regulator's licence list.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
7. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.

The process is identical across West Virginia; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Paden City holds 2,408 people.
