A practical checklist for Athens borrowers

For Athens's roughly 1,069 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Wisconsin regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
