What to do before borrowing in Silver Lake

Before you hand your details to a lender in Silver Lake, where the population is near 868:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Indiana regulator's licence list.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
