Before you apply in Thompson

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the lender holds a North Dakota licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
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.
