A practical checklist for Russell borrowers

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Russell (3,644 residents):

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Check the Kentucky regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
7. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
