A sensible order of operations for a loan in Groton, home to about 2,114 people:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the New York regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
7. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
