A pre-application checklist for Duncan

For Duncan's roughly 4,431 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. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
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. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

The process is identical across South Carolina; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Duncan holds 4,431 people.
