A pre-application checklist for Shanksville

Before you apply in Shanksville, a community of about 192, work through these steps:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Pennsylvania regulator's licence list.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
6. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
7. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
