A practical checklist for Strawn borrowers

These steps shape the offer you get in Strawn, a place of about 103 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Illinois regulator's licence list.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
