Before you apply in Stanwood, a community of about 620, work through these steps:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
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 lender holds a Iowa licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
