The Ericson borrowing checklist

For Ericson's roughly 89 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Nebraska licence by checking the regulator named above.
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 the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.

The process is identical across Nebraska; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Ericson holds 89 people.
