The Graettinger borrowing checklist

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Graettinger (813 residents):

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Look the lender up in the Iowa regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
