Steps to take before a Shaw loan

Before you hand your details to a lender in Shaw, where the population is near 1,363:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
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. Check the Mississippi regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.

What differs between Shaw and the rest of Mississippi is not the process but the borrower's own file, among the 1,363 people here.
