The Lowell borrowing checklist

Before you apply in Lowell, a community of about 4,103, work through these steps:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
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. Confirm the Michigan licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
7. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.

The process is identical across Michigan; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Lowell holds 4,103 people.
