A practical checklist for Palmer borrowers

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Palmer (570 residents):

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the Tennessee licence with the regulator named above before committing.
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. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.

The process is identical across Tennessee; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Palmer holds 570 people.
