A pre-application checklist for Peoria

Before you hand your details to a lender in Peoria, where the population is near 198,750:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Arizona regulator's licence list.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
