The Luray borrowing checklist

Before you hand your details to a lender in Luray, where the population is near 95:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Verify the lender's South Carolina licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
6. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
7. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
