Steps to take before a Wayne loan

For Wayne's roughly 1,395 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.

3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Verify the lender's West Virginia licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.

The process is identical across West Virginia; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Wayne holds 1,395 people.
