A pre-application checklist for Fraser

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Fraser (14,434 residents):

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Look the lender up in the Michigan regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
6. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
7. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.

The process is identical across Michigan; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Fraser holds 14,434 people.
