Before you apply in Glidden

Before you apply in Glidden, a community of about 1,150, work through these steps:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Iowa regulator's licence list.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
7. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
