The Landrum borrowing checklist

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Landrum (2,697 residents):

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
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. Confirm the South Carolina licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
