Steps to take before a Thatcher loan

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Verify the lender's Arizona licence with the regulator listed on this page.
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 debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

The process is identical across Arizona; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Thatcher holds 5,486 people.
