A pre-application checklist for Monroe

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Monroe (9,477 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the New York regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
