A practical checklist for Fulton borrowers

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Fulton (216 residents):

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Alabama licence by checking the regulator named above.
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.
