Steps to take before a Bardwell loan

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Bardwell (690 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the Kentucky regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
6. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
7. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
