A practical checklist for Stickney borrowers

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Stickney, home to about 318 people:

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. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Check the South Dakota regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
