The Norwood borrowing checklist

Before you hand your details to a lender in Norwood, where the population is near 5,890:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Pennsylvania regulator's licence list.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
7. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.

In Norwood as elsewhere in Pennsylvania, the written terms — not the advertisement — are what count for its 5,890 residents.
