A practical checklist for Firestone borrowers

Before you apply in Firestone, a community of about 18,589, work through these steps:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Colorado regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.

What differs between Firestone and the rest of Colorado is not the process but the borrower's own file, among the 18,589 people here.
