Steps to take before a Strum loan

Before you hand your details to a lender in Strum, where the population is near 1,057:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Wisconsin regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.

The process is identical across Wisconsin; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Strum holds 1,057 people.
