The Potlatch borrowing checklist

For Potlatch's roughly 792 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Idaho regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
7. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
