What to do before borrowing in Fertile

Before you hand your details to a lender in Fertile, where the population is near 299:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Iowa regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.

How a Fertile personal loan is priced

Most loans made to Fertile's 299 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Fertile loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Fertile loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
