1. Government-issued photo ID and minimum age of 18. To apply for an installment loan at a licensed branch in Concord, you must be at least 18 years old, which is the minimum legal borrowing age in New Hampshire. Bring an unexpired state driver's license, state ID card, or U.S. passport so the staff can verify your identity.
2. Proof of income and proof of Concord residence. Branch underwriters check your ability to repay by reviewing recent pay stubs, tax returns, or benefit award letters along with a utility bill or lease agreement showing your Concord address.
3. Active bank account information and credit check questions. Bring a voided check or bank statement showing your account and routing numbers if you want loan proceeds deposited electronically or plan to set up monthly payments. Ask the loan officer whether the lender reports on-time payments to the major credit bureaus, as many licensed installment lenders report payment history.
4. Reviewing the Truth in Lending disclosure box and optional add-ons. Before you sign, federal Regulation Z requires the lender to hand you a written disclosure box showing the APR, Finance Charge in dollars, Amount Financed, and Total of Payments. Check whether optional credit life or disability insurance was added—for example, if the offer shows a $2,000 loan but the amount financed is $2,250 because insurance was added—and remember that under Regulation Z, optional insurance cannot be left out of the APR unless it is voluntary, disclosed as optional, and signed for separately. In New Hampshire, optional credit insurance is allowed. Under the New Hampshire Small Loans Act, the permitted origination fee is must be included within the 36% APR calculation for closed-end installment loans.
5. Signing the contract, receiving funds, and confirming your first payment date. Once you confirm that any unwanted add-ons are removed and the APR complies with the New Hampshire cap, you sign the loan agreement and receive your funds by check, prepaid card, or bank deposit. Make sure you leave the Concord office with a complete paper copy of your contract showing the exact dollar amount of each monthly payment, your first payment due date, and confirmation that you can prepay early without penalty.
