Steps to take before a Orchard loan

- Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.

- Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
- Look the lender up in the Texas regulator's licence records before you sign.
- Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
- Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
- If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
