What to do before borrowing in Durand

Before you hand your details to a lender in Durand, where the population is near 3,470:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Michigan regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
