The Pierson borrowing checklist

For Pierson's roughly 204 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

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. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Michigan regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
7. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.

The process is identical across Michigan; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Pierson holds 204 people.
