A pre-application checklist for Heath

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Ohio regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
