A pre-application checklist for Ideal

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Ideal, home to about 399 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Look the lender up in the Georgia regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.

The process is identical across Georgia; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Ideal holds 399 people.
