Steps to take before a Wayne loan

Before you apply in Wayne, a community of about 6,165, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Nebraska regulator's licence list.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.

In Wayne as elsewhere in Nebraska, the written terms — not the advertisement — are what count for its 6,165 residents.
