The Penbrook borrowing checklist

These steps shape the offer you get in Penbrook, a place of about 3,244 people:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Pennsylvania licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
