Steps to take before a Santa Claus loan

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Santa Claus, home to about 202 people:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Georgia regulator's licence list.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
7. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
