A pre-application checklist for Tontitown

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Tontitown, home to about 7,364 people:

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. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the Arkansas licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
7. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
