Before you apply in Gordon

- Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
- Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
- Confirm the lender holds a Georgia licence by checking the regulator named above.
- Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
- Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
- When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
