What to do before borrowing in Thayer

Before you apply in Thayer, a community of about 615, work through these steps:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
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. Make sure the lender appears in the Illinois regulator's licence list.
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.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.

The process is identical across Illinois; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Thayer holds 615 people.
