Steps to take before a Patagonia loan

Before you apply in Patagonia, a community of about 789, work through these steps:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
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. Verify the lender's Arizona licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
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.

The process is identical across Arizona; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Patagonia holds 789 people.
