The Hanson borrowing checklist

Before you apply in Hanson, a community of about 748, work through these steps:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Check the Kentucky regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
