Before you apply in Pahokee

3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the Florida regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
