Before you accept an offer
Read the pre-agreement statement and quotation carefully. Under the National Credit Act the cost of a loan is made up of interest, an initiation fee and a monthly service fee, and a registered lender must assess whether you can afford the repayments. Borrow only what your budget can carry, and if you already struggle with repayments, consider speaking to a registered debt counsellor first.
