Steps to take before a Walden loan

Before you apply in Walden, a community of about 1,979, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Tennessee licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
6. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
7. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
