What to do before borrowing in Shelby

4. Check the Mississippi regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
