The Netcong borrowing checklist

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Netcong, home to about 3,665 people:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the New Jersey licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
6. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
