A pre-application checklist for Buchanan

For Buchanan's roughly 2,215 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the New York regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

The process is identical across New York; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Buchanan holds 2,215 people.
