Before you apply in Atlanta

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Atlanta, home to about 1,637 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
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. Check the Illinois regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
7. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.

The process is identical across Illinois; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Atlanta holds 1,637 people.
