Before you apply in Secaucus

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the New Jersey licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
