Before you apply in Ringtown

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the lender holds a Pennsylvania licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
