What a Farmington borrower is actually offered

3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the New Mexico licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
