Steps to take before a Anderson loan

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Anderson (29,980 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the South Carolina regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
